The Blue Jays are the first team to start 6 players from the Dominican Republic in the same game, as their line-up against the Red Sox features SS Jose Reyes, LF Melky Cabrera, CF Jose Bautista, 1B Edwin Encarnacion, DH Juan Francisco and RF Moises Sierra. There is joy in Santo Domingo as the proto-Dominican national team wins, 7 – 1, behind a strong performance by R.A. Dickey, one of only two U.S.-born players among the Jays’ 10 starters (the other is battery-mate Josh Thole).
