Tallet pitches Jays back into Wild Card lead

Tallet does it again.

Brian Tallet pitched a three-hitter with seven strikeouts in six innings, and the Blue Jays welcomed the Reds to Rogers Centre by beating them 7-5.

Tallet walked only one batter, leaving after the sixth with the score 6-0.

Cincinnati plated four runs after loading the bases off two relievers in the seventh, but couldn't come all the way back.

Meanwhile, in Atlanta, the Yankees were blanked 4-0 by Tommy (not Glavine) Hanson. Chien-Ming Wang fell to 0-6. Beautiful!

A-Rod is now batting .207 for the Yankees.

The Jays (39-33) and Yanks (38-32) are now tied for the wild card lead. Both are five back of Boston for top spot in the AL East.
