Bell was a thorn in the side of the hometown fans as he enjoyed a fine day at their team's expense. He smacked a three-run homer in the 1st inning, doubled in the 4th inning and laced a base-knock in the 6th inning. Both teams totaled 6 hits on the night.
The win was credited to Jimmy Key(20-8) who went 8 innings allowing 2 runs. Tom Henke earned the save, his 34th. Roger Clemens(15-11) was the losing pitcher.
Toronto won for the 9th straight time.
