TORONTO — Slump? What slump?
On a night when Toronto FC welcomed a designated player (Jozy Altidore) back from injury and introduced the Canadian national team's active goal scoring leader (Tosaint Ricketts) as a new member of the side, it was Sebastian Giovinco who stole the spotlight and put to rest any talk of a dry spell.
On Saturday night at BMO Field, the Reds downed D.C. United 4-1 on the back of a Giovinco hat trick.
