Power..... at last.

Jays v Tigers.

The fourth time these two teams have met in eight days, and Jays have lost first three, about time they won one.

Showing the future here today, Drabek pitching, Antony Gose in CF and young Hechavarria at short. No loss of talent at all. In batting practice no one is hitting them out, the only one that I saw go out was from Antony Gose on to the roof of Jays clubhouse in right field. Detroit sluggers however were different with Cabrera and Casper Wells finding the fence. The wind was very strong however and swirling as Rivera made right field an adventure again.

Jays win this one 7-4 with come from behind win in the eighth.

Detroit get out ahead 1-0 in the first inning, and ahead 3-0 in the sixth courtesy of Octavio Dotel having his second lousy outing this week and en route to Vegas or anywhere but Toronto. Please.
Dotel ruined a nice two innings of work by Drabek who sent them down in order in the second inning. Followed by three perfect innings from Reyes. Camp gives up a home run to Cabrera in the seventh before settling down and setting the plate for the big eighth inning for the Jays.
Two on for Brett Lawrie, who made no mistake hammering the first pitch from Villareal high into left field trees. Villareal was then victimized by two errors from Nunez both of them potential double play balls and Jays add three more with nice sac fly from Diaz. Six runs in one inning an unusual sight from the Jays this week but the second come from behind late innings win in two days.

Highlights: Lawrie three run home run, and a double, he wants that job so badly, some excellent defence from the Jays turning three double plays. Jonathon Diaz involved in all three. Other great defence from Hechavarria, Lawrie, and Johnny Mc. of course. I really liked the work of Jonathan Diaz who played the whole game and would be a perfect replacement for Hill if needed, no loss of talent there at all, if anything I would rate Diaz with more speed. He also had a nice hit. Anthony Gose didn’t get a hit today, but two of his outs were well hit balls and credit to Detroit defence for keeping Jays hit total down.

Excellent: Snider with his new moustache back in the line-up with a hit first at bat, Lawrie and Lind (finally) had two hit days.

Poor: Arencibia hitless yet again and .067 average of the first week. Major concerns in this position.

Pitching: Drabek, two good innings, Jo Jo Reyes three hitless innings and faced minimum of nine hitters, Dotel with an ERA of 22.50 now. Casey Janssen with his one inning maintained his perfect spring and going hard for that bullpen role.
and the stat that I really enjoyed today Jays 2-5 with runners in scoring position. Huge improvement. Jays ground into two double plays Encarnacion and Budde.

Jays win their third and now 3-5. Detroit falls to 5-4 with three of those wins against Toronto.
