TORONTO – The Toronto Argonauts scored 17 points in the second half and hung on to beat the Winnipeg Blue Bombers 17-13 before 19,662 at Rogers Centre this afternoon.

The Bombers (3-8) opened for the scoring five minutes in with a 34-yard field goal from the leg of kicker Justin Palardy. The key play of that Winnipeg opening drive: An 80-yard catch and run from quarterback Steven Jyles to slotback Terrence Edwards.

Winnipeg made it 6-0 when Palardy hit a 41-yard field goal to open second quarter action, and that was it for the scoring. The Argos (6-5) finally found the scoreboard when kick returner Chad Owens returned a Mike Renaud punt 79-yards for a touchdown early in the third quarter.

The Argonauts defeated the Bombers 17-13.

Kicker Justin Medlock pushed the Argos lead to 10-6 when he hit a 50-yard field goal moments after the Owens score. Medlock tried a 56-yard FG attempt later in the game, but just missed it wide right.

The home side increased its lead with 9:34 to go in the game when QB Cleo Lemon connected with SB Jermaine Copeland for a nine-yard TD pass to the corner of the end zone. The Bombers countered when Jyles hit Edwards for a 39-yard TD strike, but that was as close as they could get.

Running back Yvenson Bernard, DT Moton Hopkins, OL Chris Greaves, and LB Bernard Hicks were the Bomber scratches. Bernard has yet to see any game action this season.

The Bombers have a short week before their next contest, a Friday night tilt against the Montreal Alouettes at Canad Inns Stadium.
