Jays win 4-2 in extra innings.

Toronto v Oakland

Lineups: Oakland: Sweeney, Cabrera, Giambi, Holliday, Cust, Suzuki, Ellis, Crosby, Davis, and Cahill pitching.
Toronto: Scutaro, Hill, Rios, Wells, Lind, Bautista, Overbay, Barajas, Snider and Tallet pitching.
The only surprise here is why is Rios still in the lineup? Bite the bullet Cito and sit this guy. You have very good bats sitting on the bench. He obviously thinks that he can hide Alex in a lineup that has Snider hitting number nine.

Jays win this one in extra innings. Tallet does his job to keep it close but the bullpen is getting mighty tired. Rios continues slump but does have one hit but the 1-20 is hardly a number three production.

The good: Tallet 5 1/3 innings and keeping Jays in this one. Bullpen of Camp. Downs, Ryan, Carlson and Frasor scoreless 6 2/3 relief. BUT Cito these guys are getting far too much work this early in the season. Overbay two hit game including great walk off home run to win this one. Scutaro stolen base. Barajas getting one stealing. BJ getting pickoff and Davis caught stealing. Downs and Camp still have 0.00 ERAs. BJ is getting his down each outing.
