Lind powers Jays to another win in Arlington behind fine outing by Litsch.

Jays v Rangers in Arlington, Texas. Game two of four.

Great win last night for Jays but Harrison should be tougher match up tonight and Litsch of course is an unknown quantity. How will he react on his return to the big leagues.

Line-ups: Jays: Escobar Patterson Bautista, Lind, Rivera, Arencibia, Snider, McDonald, McCoy and Litsch pitching.
Rangers: Kinsler, Andrus, Young, Beltre, Cruz, Murphy, Torrealba, Davis, Borbon and Harrison pitching.

Top 1st: Escobar, singles to right. One on for Patterson, bunting, back to Harrison and safe on throw, two on nobody out for guess who. Bautista ball four to load them up for Lind, Adam singles to right, here comes Escobar 1-0 Jays. Harrison in deep trouble already. Rivera, 3-0 count, ball four. Here comes Patterson. 2-0 Jays. Bases still loaded. Arencibia full count. Ball four, here comes Bautista, another run and bases still loaded. 3-0 Jays. Snider ok Travis. your turn here. Grounds to third steps on base and throw to first double play but run scores 4-0. Two down Arencibia at second. McDonald, 2-2 count. Singles to centre, here comes Arencibia 5-0 Jays. McCoy, Johnny Mac stealing and safe on the throw. Lines to Murphy in left for third out but Jays hit around. 30 pitch inning with three walks for Harrison. Not what he expected tonight,
Bottom 1st: Kinsler leading off, grounds to Escobar at short, throw to Lind, one down. Andrus, grounds back to Litsch, throw to Lind two down. Young, grounds to McCoy at third, throw to Lind 11 pitch inning. Exactly what Jesse had to do.

Top 2nd: Escobar, lines this hard right at Davis at first, one down for Patterson 1-2 count, pops up to Beltre at 3B. Bautista now, did not get much in first inning. Swinging away this at bat, pops it up to Beltre, that was not a good at bat by Jose. Nine pitch inning for Harrison.
Bottom 2nd: Beltre, lines it to centre for Patterson, one down. Cruz. Full count. Pops up to MacDonald, two down. Murphy, lines it to right, Bautista misses this one off the wall and Murphy at second. That was an out Jose. Must have lost it in the background. Torrealba, singles to centre, throw by Patterson not in time 5-1 Jays. Davis, doubles over Snider off the wall in left, two in scoring position. Borbon, singles to centre, both runners score, 5-3 game. That ball dropped by Bautista is huge. Kinsler, lines to Snider for the out. Jose owes Jesse big-time. Same pitch count as Harrison.

Top 3rd: Jays hitters need to give Jesse some insurance again. Lind yes Adam, drives it over the opposite field wall in left, home run Lind. 6-3 Jays. Rivera lines it to wall in left, Arencibia, long overdue for JP. Base hits will be fine, JP. That`s what I mean lines it to left and Rivera gets to third on the play. Great decoy by Rivera, looked as if he was stopping at second and when Murphy throws to second he takes off for third. Snider singles into left, here comes the run 7-3 here comes Arencibia out on throw at third base, that was dumb play JP. One down with Travis at first. McDonald, Texas bullpen working. 2-2 count, lines to Cruz in right, two out. McCoy, strikes out. Jays get two back for Jesse. 61 pitches for Harrison.
Bottom 3rd: Andrus, grounds to McDonald, throw to Lind one down. Young, same play off the end of his bat to McDonald, two down. Beltre, singles to Snider in left. Cruz lines first pitch to McDonald at second. 47 pitches for Litsch. Nice inning Jesse, he needed to stop them right there and quickly to get his hitters back out there.

Top 4th: Top of the Jays order for third time tonight. Escobar, new pitcher Brett Tomko. Grounds to third, Beltre nice play to get Escobar at first. Patterson. Very nice Corey, doubles it into right field corner. Bautista now. Wild pitch and Patterson moves to third. 3-1 being careful with Jose. Ball four, another walk to Jose. Lind now with two on and one down. Delayed steal play here, first pitch turns on this one this in second deck in right field and Jays 10-3 game. WOW. Adam on fire. Rivera. grounds to short throw to first two down. Arencibia, 2-2 count, strikes out swinging.
Bottom 4th: Murphy, grounds to Escobar, throw to Lind, one down. Torrealba 2-2 count, left this one up, singles back up the middle, that was lousy pitch Jesse. Davis lines it at Jesse, knocks it down and still able to throw Davis out at first. Two down. Borbon, 2-2 count lines hard right at Johnny Mac. for third out.

Top 5th: Snider, if only Travis could get hot like Adam. That would be something to see this season. Lines this high and hard to right but caught at the wall. One down. McDonald, high fly ball to left for second out. McCoy, lines it to second.
Bottom 5th: Kinsler 3-1 count, ball four, Andrus, perfect grounds to Escobar steps on second throw to Lind, double play. Two down for Young, strikes out.

Top 6th: Escobar, lines it high to centre for the out. Patterson, strikes out, two down for Bautista. Doubles over the head of Murphy in left, to the wall. Lind now, will he pitch around Adam here, five RBIs night already. Not this time, grounds to first for the out.
Bottom 6th: Beltre, grounds back to Jesse, great stop and throw for the out. Very nice play Jesse. Cruz, 3-1 Jesse not getting that inside pitch, full count. Ball four but looked like a strike. That was tough. Murphy, fly ball to Patterson, two down. Torrealba, lines it to left corner wall, Cruz at third. Torrealba at first. Davis, fly ball to Snider in left for final out. Jesse on 93 pitches. That could be it as Janssen warming up in bullpen. Baltimore has beaten Boston.

Top 7th: Rivera, lines it to Borbon in centre, one down for Arencibia, full count, drives it to Borbon in centre, two down. Snider, 3-0 count, ball four. McDonald, two down one on. Strikes out swinging. Travis left out there again. He must wish he were hitting in front of Bautista. Actually not a bad idea and switch with Patterson. Yankees lose for second time against White Sox. Tampa game in Minnesota postponed. Important one for Jays to win here.
Bottom 7th: Casey Janssen now pitching. Borbon leading off. GREAT play, grounds to McDonald scoops it to Lind for the out. Very, very close call. One down, Kinsler, strikes out swinging, two down. Andrus singles to centre. Young, grounds to MacDonald at second throw to Lind for third out.

Top 8th: McCoy leading off. Hitless tonight. And again drives it hard to the wall in left centre but Borbon makes the catch at the wall. Escobar, lines it hard off glove of short stop Andrus. Error to Andrus. Patterson, strikes out swinging, two down. Bautista 2-2 count. Strikes out, disagrees with umpire.
Bottom 8th: Francisco now pitching. Napoli, fly ball to Patterson in centre, one down. Moreland full count, ball four. Murphy, first pitch fly ball to Snider in left, two down. Teagarden, grounds to Escobar throw to second for third out.

Top 9th: Lind, 3-4 night, Darren O Day pitching, submariner. Grounds to second, throw to first one down for Rivera, pulls first pitch into left. Hit number two for Juan tonight. Arencibia, full count, strikes out swinging, two down. Snider, grounds to second throw to first.
Bottom 9th: Camp now pitching. Davis, doubles off the wall in left, nice play by Travis but throw not in time. Borbon, singles to centre. Davis holds at third. Kinsler, two on nobody out. Perfect pops up to Escobar, no chance for runners to move up. Andrus, even better grounds to Escobar, flip to Johnny Mac throw to Lind double play to end this big-time win for Jays tonight and take first two from Texas. Who would have thought that?

The very good: Has to be Lind and Litsch tonight. Jesse pitching six and Adam with the two home runs and 5 RBIs. The win is huge for many reasons, in Texas who were 10-2 at home before Jays arrived. Lind and his hot bat has changed the way opposing pitchers will now be pitching to Bautista. No one will be pitching around him now to get to Adam. Rivera also now coming around adds another big bat in lineup. Injured players Davis and Encarnacion will be back this week adding power to the lineup and also the speed of Davis at the top can cause havoc as we have already seen since day 1 of this season. Two more games left in Arlington but at least Jays cannot lose the series.

The good: The rest of the Jays hitters who joined in the celebration. All the starting line-up except McCoy had a hit tonight and fair to say that McCoy was robbed of at least one hit. The bullpen once again closing down Texas after Jesse left. Janssen, Francisco and Camp three scoreless innings.
The not so good: Bautista not catching the line drive by Murphy in the second inning was three run difference and many more pitches for Jesse. Arencibia base running error in third inning.

Tomorrow Jo Jo Reyes pitching.
