Blue Jays Turn Back Texas, 5-4
Fans who gathered at Globe Life Park in Arlington saw a good contest between the Toronto Blue Jays and Texas Rangers.

The Blue Jays had to overcome a fine effort from Texas pitcher Jon Lester to grab a narrow 5-4 win at Globe Life Park in Arlington. Lester went 6 innings and allowed 3 earned runs. Danny Barnes picked up the save for Toronto, his 2nd of the year.

It could have been a different outcome for Toronto, had it not been for Keon Broxton, the 28-year old right fielder . Broxton contributed a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put Toronto up, 5-2.

"I was a little disappointed," said Texas manager Eric Ferraro. "We could've and should've scored more runs."

The Blue Jays improve their record to 17-16 with the win over Texas.
