The very good: Cecil obviously with eight great innings. Only 96 pitches. Could probably have gone the distance if needed but he saved bullpen from extra work today. Now the big bats are booming. Hill, Wells and Overbay between them four home runs today Jays now have a new home run club record for May. Perhaps these guys can have a great June and do what they should have been doing for the first two months. Will Lyle be moved back up the order?
The bad: 0/5 with runners in scoring position.
