ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Sept. 10 (UPI) -- Vernon Wells and Carlos Delgado hit back-to-back homers in the seventh Wednesday night as Toronto held off Tampa Bay, 6-5.
Wells had three hits and leads the American League with 195. He is trying to become the first Blue Jay to lead the league in hits since Paul Molitor in 1993. In this one, he delivered the biggest hit of the game -- his 31st homer of the season.
One night after going hitless in five at-bats, Delgado followed with his 35th of the year.
The big hits made a winner out of Mark Hendrickson (9-9), who settled down after a shaky start and allowed three runs and six hits in six innings. He gave up all three runs in the first but kept the Devil Rays in check the rest of the night and won his second straight decision.
