Troy Glaus Continues Medication for Shoulder Pain
Toronto slugger Troy Glaus, coming into Monday's game with six homers on the year, hit an additional pair of longballs and two doubles in going 4-5 to raise his average to .289 in the Blue Jays 9-7 triumph over the Orioles. Glaus' production is all the more remarkable considering that he remains on an injection regimen for pain related to his shoulder separation two years ago, and is still something of an injury risk as the season wears on.
