With starter Ben Rivera leading the charge, the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the San Francisco Giants, 8-5, in Game 2 of the World Series today. The right-hander threw 5.1 innings allowing 1 runs at Candlestick Park to help Toronto take a 2-0 lead in the best-of-7 series.

Toronto relied on the hitting of Jeff Bagwell to pick up the win. The first baseman clubbed a 3-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Blue Jays on top, 6-1. For the game, Bagwell had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"Postseason wins taste oh so sweet," said Rivera after the game.

Game 3 is scheduled for Monday at SkyDome in Toronto.
