Thanks in large part to center fielder Grady Sizemore, the Cleveland Spiders beat the Toronto Blue Jays, 6-5. Sizemore went 2-4 with a double. He drove in 4 runs. The third-place Spiders sport a record of 59-66.

Had Sizemore not come through in the bottom of the eighth, who knows how the game would've ended? But with two down, Sizemore hit a 2-run single. The Spiders took the lead, 6-5, and never looked back.

"Different night, same tune, unfortunately," said losing manager Carlos Delgado.
