Halladay gets fifth win

Roy Halladay picked up his fifth win, pitching eight innings to lead the Blue Jays to an 8-4 win over Baltimore at Rogers Centre on Friday night in the opener of their three-game weekend series.

Ex-Oriole Kevin Millar had three RBIs for the Blue Jays, while Aaron Hill and Rod Barajas both went 3-for-5. Adam Lind homered for Toronto.

As for the demotion of David Purcey (along with Brian Burres), check out my comments here. Don't really want to double-post.

Meanwhile, the Boston Red Sox, who got demolished by Tampa Bay 13-0 on Thursday, lost yet again in Tampa on Friday, losing 6-2.

The Red Sox's loss, coupled with the Blue Jays' win on Friday, means the Jays are now back in sole possession of first place in the East. Toronto is 16-9, followed by Boston at 14-9.
