(AP Photo/H. Rumph, Jr.) Jayson Werth homered in his first three at-bats and tied a Philadelphia Phillies record with eight RBIs in a 10-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday night. Werth had a chance to tie the major league record of four homers in a game but fouled out to first base to end the seventh inning. Werth hit an 0-1 pitch off Blue Jays starter David Purcey for a three-run home run to right field in the second inning and followed with a 425-foot grand slam to right against Purcey (0-1) in the third. He then ripped a solo shot to left-center in the fifth off reliever Jesse Litsch on a 2-1 pitch for a 9-2 lead. Read These Next Defense officials react to Hegseth's Quantico meeting.
