Joe Carter lofted one into the 'cheap seats' and Juan Guzman shut down the
Detroit batters on just 3 hits at Tiger Stadium where the Toronto Blue Jays
beat the Detroit Tigers by the score of 8 to 0.
 
Guzman(8-3) came through with a virtuoso performance against the Detroit
hitters.  He allowed just 3 hits and 6 walks in 9 innings.  Guzman struckout
12 Detroit batters improving his ERA from 2.55 to 2.31.  Toronto finished

I could throw it by everybody tonight.'
