Hill and more Hill as Jays win in extra inings.

Toronto v Baltimore. Second game of series.

Lineups: Baltimore: Roberts, Jones, Markakis, Huff, Mora, Scott, Montanez, Zaun, Izturis and Bergeson pitching.
Toronto: Scutaro, Hill, Rios, Wells, Lind, Bautista, Overbay, Chavez, Snider and Ray pitching.
Rookie Jays pitcher Ray. making his major league debut. A 25-year-old right-hander, made one start for Triple-A Vegas on April 26 and pitched 4.1 scoreless innings. He split his 2008 between High-A and Double-A. Jays are really stretching this option, it could backfire bigtime.

The very good: Hill, and more Hill. Home run in the 10th to tie it up and single in the 11th to win it. Can’t do much more than that.

The good: Ray Achieved more than expected a great major league debut. Snider in left did a great job, hustling all the way, Alex take note.

The goats today: Snider and Scutaro. The mental part of the game.

The bad: Three more double plays by Jays today, they really have a problem here they have to address somehow.

Top 6th: Mora bunting, Chavez to Overbay for first out. Scott grounds to Scutaro throw to Overbay. Montanez full count and walks. Here comes Cito, that’s it for Ray. 90- pitches and has done well he should get another chance and every rotation brings closer the return of Litsch, Romero and Marcum.

Bottom 8th: Hill strikes out. Rios grounds to short, Rios beats out long throw. When he thinks about it Alex can run. Second hit today. Wells with one on, double and single today, would love a double here. Grounds to third, Mora’s just beats Vernon. Alex at second, two down for Lind. Putting him on. Intentional walk, that second run is the key one anyway. Bautista two down and two on. 3-1 count, full count, Alex will be running. Ball four and loads the bases for Overbay ? That’s it for Baez.

Jones at bat, yes. strike three, very nice inside corner, great pitch gets Jones looking. Down to the wire here.
Bottom 9th: Chavez bunting, great bunt, Johnny Mc. pinch running. Snider first pitch, grounds to second, throw to second on to first double play ball. What’s your problem Travis? This is bottom of ninth with one on, put some pressure on pitcher take a couple at least. Been watching too much of Rios and Wells. That was bad, very bad at bat. Scutaro now with two down. Drives it into left, Montanez great diving catch but lands awkwardly on his right hand. Extra innings, but no thanks to Snider, rookie error I hope. We don’t want him imitating Alex and Vernon.

Top 10th: Downs now pitching. Barajas in for Chavez. Markakis, grounds to Hill, fumbles and throw too late, error on play. Huff with one on, singles to right both runners safe for Mora is he bunting? Yes, but fouls off first one. Swings at this one. 0-2. Fly ball to Rios, Roberts tags and at third with one down. Wigginton pinch hitting. A good fly ball swing will bring run in. Grounds to Scutaro, coming home instead of going for double play. Run scores and no out, that was another bad choice. 4-3 Baltimore. Montanez, with two on. Strikes out, two down. Zaun, strikes out but two bad judgement calls by Snider and now Scutaro have put Jays in a hole here.
Bottom 10th: Sherill four of five saves this season. Hill leading off. Yes Aaron, tags this one into left field seats, and ties this up 4-4. Aaron more than makes up for his error. Rios now, strikes out. Wells first pitch fly ball to left field. Two down. Lind hitless today. Singles into centre. One on two down for Bautista walks. Two on for Millar. A single will do here Kevin. Fly ball to left to end that rally.

Top 11th: Frasor now pitching. Izturis at bat. 2-4 today. Pops up to Barajas one down for top of the order. Roberts, fly ball to centre and Vernon makes it look so easy. Makes up for his at bat in tenth. Two down for Jones. Singles up the middle. One on two down for Markakis. Jones stealing and Barajas bounces the throw, not in time. Fly ball out to Snider in left.
Bottom 11th: Bass now pitching. Barajas at bat, singles to right. Snider now second chance to redeem himself for that ninth inning double play. Hitless today. That was even worse, bunting !!!!!! and pops it up to Bass. 0-5. I am changing my mind about this kid. He has a long way to go. Scutaro bunts and thrown out at first. Barajas at second. Not sure what Scutaro was planning there, two outs given up. Hill at least, singles into shallow centre and here comes Barajas and scores as throw by Jones is up the third line. JAYS WIN THIS ONE 5-4. Hill MVP.
