Toronto Blue Jays (5-2) Vs California Angels of Anaheim (3-4)
Kyle Drabek struggled early to find his control as he walked 4 in the game and was not helped by new daddy Jose Bautista throw the ball into the camera bay when Bobby Abreu went first to third on a Torii Hunter single to make it 1-0 Angels on an unearned run and then Torii Hunter singled in Maicer Izturis to make it 2-0. Then in the 5 inning after Maicer Izturis and Howie Kendrick got on base Kyle struck out Bobby Abreu,Torii Hunter flied out, and Vernon Wells (.097 batting average) struck out as well to keep it 2-0 and then in the top of the 6 inning Johnny Mac got a hit and Jose Bautista hit a ball just in front of Vernon and after this Adam Lind felt that he wanted to make Vernon dive for a ball as he hit it to left center and Vernon dived for it and missed it and both runners scored to make it 2-2. Then Kyle finishes the 6th inning 1,2,3 with 103 pitches (64 S - 39 B) and 5 K's and 1 earned run on 6 hits along with those 4 walks and then Octavio Dotel introduced himself to the Blue Jays fan base as he throw 10 pitches all for strikes and struck out 2 batters in a inning of work and picked up the win as Jayson Nix hit a ball into a bullpen to give the Jays a 3-2 lead. As Shawn Camp got the 3 outs including a David Purcey walk which was apart of a double play and finally Jon Rauch came in the bottom of the 9th where he gave up a hit but also got a strike out and the other 2 outs to pick up the save. Ervin Santana pitched well in the game especially until the 6 inning where a kink in his armor and then a 2-0 pitch to Jayson Nix in the 8 inning gave him the loss after winning his last 4 decisions against the Jays and he pitched 8 innings gave up 6 hits and the 3 runs and a walk too but also stuck out 7 in his 100 pitch performance (70 s - 30 b).
In other news Manny Ramirez has decided to take his steroid body and go into the sunset of retirement as he was catch with a steroid in his body for the second time so instead of being suspended for a 100 games he decided to walk away from the game that has made him so much money and fame.
Vernon Wells hitting under a 100 and got struck out twice good ol' Wells
