Blue Jays Hit 8 Homers in Rout of Rays

Filed under: Blue Jays, RaysTORONTO (AP) -- A group of fans wearing blue wigs decided against K signs for each home strikeout at Rogers Centre, opting for HR placards for each Toronto drive instead.

They got plenty of work Saturday.

The Blue Jays became the first team to hit eight homers in a game in three years, getting two apiece from Aaron Hill and J.P. Arencibia in a 17-11 victory over the slumping Tampa Bay Rays.

"I've never seen anything like it for a team that I've played for or against," said Jose Bautista, who hit his major league-best 34th. "It was just one of those days, the balls kept going out of the yard."

Adam Lind, Edwin Encarnacion and Lyle Overbay also connected for the Blue Jays, who lead the majors with 175 homers.Astros Brewers Cardinals Mets
