The All-Star didn't realize he had moved into 13th place on the all-time homer list until after the game, when he heard about Murcer's death, reports the New York Times.http://www.newser.com/story/32317/a-rod-passes-mantles-hr-record.html?refid=rss_all_defaultSun, 13 Jul 2008 5:45:42 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/31458/mlbs-midterm-report-cards.html?refid=rss_all_defaultReport card time! Here’s how the rambunctious kids of MLB are doing so far, in Yahoo Sports’ Steven Henson’s estimation. A students —Rays, Red Sox, Cubs, Angels, White Sox Particular kudos go to the Rays, the poor kid who went to the head of the class.

Werth had a chance to tie the major league record of four homers in a game but fouled out to first base to end the seventh inning.http://www.newser.com/story/27723/werth-rips-3-homers-phils-crush-jays.html?refid=rss_all_defaultFri, 16 May 2008 21:42:10 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/27652/pinch-hitting-inglett-lift-jays-over-twins.html?refid=rss_all_defaultStill stuck in last place and minus injured leader Vernon Wells, the streaky Toronto Blue Jays needed to reconstruct their confidence. This was a successful first step: A three-game sweep at Minnesota. Dustin McGowan survived his wildness without much damage, the bullpen was spotless and Joe Inglett picked up his first career pinch-hit lift the Blue Jays past the Twins 3-2 yesterday.http://www.newser.com/story/27652/pinch-hitting-inglett-lift-jays-over-twins.html?refid=rss_all_defaultFri, 16 May 2008 0:33:20 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/27530/stairs-slam-lifts-jays-over-twins.html?refid=rss_all_defaultMatt Stairs hit a grand slam and Roy Halladay rebounded from a shaky start to help the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Minnesota Twins 6-5 on Wednesday night. Halladay (4-5) has been the victim of poor run support all season, getting only 3.14 runs per outing entering Wednesday. Stairs' slam in the first inning gave the right-hander a 4-0 advantage.http://www.newser.com/story/27530/stairs-slam-lifts-jays-over-twins.html?refid=rss_all_defaultWed, 14 May 2008 22:52:30 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/27417/stairs-powers-jays-past-twins.html?refid=rss_all_defaultMatt Stairs homered and scored twice for the struggling Blue Jays' offense in Toronto's 5-3 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night. Lyle Overbay and former Twin Shannon Stewart each had two hits, including RBI-doubles, for the Jays, who scored at least five runs in a game for just the second time in the last 10 games.http://www.newser.com/story/27417/stairs-powers-jays-past-twins.html?refid=rss_all_defaultTue, 13 May 2008 23:26:29 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/27297/toronto-cleveland-split-highlight-heavy-double-header.html?refid=rss_all_defaultAsdrubal Cabrera turned the 14th unassisted triple play in major league history, and it wasn't enough for the Cleveland Indians to complete a doubleheader sweep. Shannon Stewart hit a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning, Aaron Hill added a two-run single and the Toronto Blue Jays beat Cleveland 3-0 on Monday to salvage a split of the doubleheader.http://www.newser.com/story/27297/toronto-cleveland-split-highlight-heavy-double-header.html?refid=rss_all_defaultMon, 12 May 2008 22:30:11 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/27098/sizemore-homers-twice-in-tribe-blowout.html?refid=rss_all_defaultGrady Sizemore homered twice and drove in five runs, Aaron Laffey pitched seven sharp innings and the Cleveland Indians routed Toronto 12-0 Saturday night to hand the Blue Jays their fourth straight loss.
