Blue Jays snap Cubs’ winning streak Posted on June 14th
TORONTO - Only a few days after coming off their West Coast swing, the Cubs began their artificial turf trip Friday night at the Rogers Center.
The Cubs hadn’t played a game on artificial turf since getting swept in Minnesota in 2006 and had not won a game on fake grass since Sept. 1, 2004 in Montreal, a game Kerry Wood started.
Friday night was more of the same as Toronto squeezed out a 3-2 victory before a relatively sleepy crowd of 27,803.
Back-to-back home runs by Matt Stairs and Scott Rolen off Sean Gallagher in the fourth gave the Blue Jays a 3-0 lead, and the Cubs offense couldn’t get it together against A.J. Burnett and five Toronto relievers, leaving 11 men on base for the night.
