Upton, strikes out looking for third time tonight. Pitch count 93.

Top 7th: Jays hitters have to get going here and give Morrow more support. Lay off that first pitch stuff would help. Johnny Mc. not playing very well for the last week. Bunting to Longoria at third but thrown out at first. One down. Davis, fly ball to Upton in centre, two down. Patterson grounds to first, Kotchman takes it himself. Jays bats gone cold at the worst time.
Bottom 7th: Morrow at 93 may not be for long in this inning unless he gets quick outs.. Kotchman leading off. Bounces over head of Morrow to Escobar, error to Yunel but that was tough play. His first error of the season and the last short stop in the league to make an error this season, that is very impressive. Dan Johnson pinch hitting for Brignac. Pops up to shallow right but Johnny Mc. makes nice catch, one down runner holds at first. Frasor working in the bullpen. 2-2 count. Singles to right, that’s the end of night for Morrow. Frasor now pitching. John Farrell ejected from game. Nothing dramatic, looked as if he was just talking to umpire. Fuld with two on and one down. Grounds to Encarnacion steps on the bag, throw to Lind tags him out, called safe by first base umpire, Lind disagrees, conference by the umpires, reverse the call and double play ball. Maddon out there to argue he is ejected. Call stands. Huge play.

Top 8th: Now can Jays hitters get going with that excitement of last play. Juan Cruz now pitching. Escobar, bunting back to Cruz, throw to first for the out. One down for Lind, Rzepczynski working in bullpen. 1-2 count, singles back up the middle, 4-4 tonight wow excellent. Rivera now, don’t waste this Juan. Lines it hard to right but right at Joyce, two down for Encarnacion. Pops up to Joyce in shallow right.
Bottom 8th: Rzepczynski now pitching. Zobrist, strikes out on three pitches. One down for Damon, singles to centre, one on one down for Longoria.2-2 count. Great pitch strikes him out with a breaking ball that froze him, wow great pitch. Two down. Joyce, 1-2 count, strikes out swinging. Strikes out the side and the top of the order, very nice pitching.

Top 9th: Can Jays get an insurance run (or two) here? Bottom third of the order. Cooper leading off, Adam Russell now pitching. Strikes out looking, one down. Molina, full count, Francisco warming up in bullpen. Strikes out looking. McDonald last hope tonight. Pops up to Russell. Very tame three outs by Jays hitters.
Bottom 9th: Frank Francisco now pitching. Upton leading off. 1-2 count, Upton does not like that call. Strikes out looking, Upton loses it and is now ejected. Still losing it throwing his gear on the field. I guess striking out four times does that to some people. Kotchman, 3-1 count, ball four, one on, one down. Elliot Johnson pinch hitting. 0-2 count, strikes out on three pitches. Two down for Jaso, 3-1 count, come on Frank. Ball four. Top of the order now Flud. Not good Frank. 2-0, lost the strike zone. Pinch runner Rodriguez for Jaso. 2-1, 3-1, come on. Full count. Singles to right, Johnny Mc. fumbles it, misplays it off his glove, no error called, Kotchman scores 3-2 game. Not good at all here. Deja vu of last night. Rodriguez at third. Zobrist, Strike one, grounds to Lind at first steps on the bag and Jays win a heart stopper 3-2 but it is a win and without Bautista. First season win for Morrow, first save (just ) for Francisco. Jays going for the series tomorrow.

The very good: Morrow getting in to the 7th, throwing 98mph for most of the game, striking out Upton three times and winning his first of the season. Lind 4-4 night, two run home run in the first number six on the season and he is hit right now. Stolen base number for Davis. Rivera, in the 4th, throw to cut off Escobar, Escobar’s relay Molina blocks the plate and gets him, WOW great play by all three of them. Bullpen of Frasor, Rzepczynski and Francisco. Rzepczynski especially striking out the side in the eighth, that was huge. Molina two great defensive plays. Yankees lose to Detroit.

The not so good: Bottom of the order only one hit between the three of them in twelve at bats. Runners in scoring position 1-6.
