Bunt Pushes Jays To 5-2 Win Over Rangers
ARLINGTON (AP) - Corey Patterson bunted home the tiebreaking run in the ninth inning and the Toronto Blue Jays won their first series in three weeks with a 5-2 victory over the AL West-leading Texas Rangers on Thursday.
Patterson dragged a bunt to the right side that was fielded by Darren Oliver (1-2) with nobody covering first base. Patterson got credited with a single and John McDonald, who held at third base until the ball was safely in play, scored the go-ahead run.
The Blue Jays, who took three of four games in the series, then added two more runs after Texas made two errors on the same play.
Adam Lind homered again for Toronto, his third in the series.
