Notes: Giambi, New York’s first baseman, let an easy pop fly drop in foul territory in the second inning. … Blue Jays president Paul Godfrey introduced a laser light show from a helicopter above SkyDome between the fifth and sixth innings. The light show reflected off the roof of SkyDome and was shown on the Jumbotron, but the Jumbotron lost the feed at one point and fans booed after being unable to clearly see what was being reflected. The Blue Jays have been promoting their new logo, which was unveiled Tuesday night.
