Two on for Bautista full count, runners will be going and we have some speed out there right now. Strikes out, not happy with himself and rightly so, that was ball four but he committed and could not hold up.
Top 9th: Who will finish this one off? Downs or Frasor? Kansas is hammering Boston at Fenway 10-5. No, it’s Gregg out there, no save situation. But needs work. Tejada leading off, 2-2. Back up the middle, one on. Scott,wild pitch and Tejada moves to second. Strikes out one down. Wieters strikes out on three pitches, crowd loves this. Two down one on for Jones, 2-2, crowd on their feet now, outside full count, come on Kevin. Strikes out swinging and Gregg strikes out the side.
Hill grinning as he leaves the field and so he should. We have been waiting long time for this Aaron, keep it going this weekend.
Jays shut out Baltimore 5-0 and should go ahead of Boston once more as they are losing to Kansas. Tampa also lost so a good night for Jays. Rios helps Jays tonight with his home run against Tampa as they lose to the White Sox. Alex you can hit as many as you want against Tampa.
The very good: Hill, Bautista and Wells, and Marcum and the bullpen of Camp, Janssen and Gregg backing him up with three scoreless innings.
Lewis using his speed and stealing to get into scoring position in the first inning.
The bad: Not really bad tonight but Jays 2/6 with runners in scoring position, but Orioles are far worse, 0-8.
