Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
TORONTO, June 19 (UPI) -- Jesse Litsch and two relievers teamed up to hurl a four-hit shutout Saturday, posting the Toronto Blue Jays to a 3-0 victory over San Francisco.
Litsch, making only his second start after returning from elbow surgery, was brilliant, holding the Giants to only three hits over seven innings, walking none and fanning three.
He ended with a no-decision, however, with the victory going to Shawn Camp (2-1), who tossed a scoreless eighth. Kevin Gregg notched his 18th save with a 1-2-3 ninth.
The game was scoreless until the eighth, when Aaron Hill socked a two-run homer off Matt Cain (6-5) and Alex Gonzalez chipped in with an RBI single to make it 3-0, enabling the Blue Jays to win their fourth game in five tries.
Cain was the hard-luck loser, surrendering the three runs on six hits over 7 2/3 innings, walking two and striking out three.
