After 3 innings of very good pitching by Brandon Morrow including 7 pitches in a 1-2-3 first inning while the Jays got on the scoreboard first when Yunel Escobar singled to open the first and Bautista doubled him home and then in the bottom of the third Yunel Escobar hit a solo homer which was his third of the season to give the Jays a 2-0 lead.
In the top of the fourth inning Brandon Morrow struck out his 6 batter of the game Brennan Boesch but the catcher Jose Molina was not able to keep the ball in the dirt in front of him and Boesch was safe at first and it was over for Morrow as Miguel Cabrera walked and Victor Martinez doubled Boesch home and Don Kelly singled in Cabrera to tie up the game @ 2. Jhonny Peralta lined out for out one and then Alex Avila walked to load the bases and Morrow was finished after 3.1 inning and he was not happy as he looked back at John Farrell as he left the mound and throw his glove in disgust when in the dugout. Shawn Camp came in and struck out Ryan Raburn and would of been the third out if Molina held kept the Boesch strike out pitch in front of him but Austin Jackson came to the plate and he cleared the bases with a double to give the Tigers a 5-2 lead and Ramon Santiago doubled Jackson into make it 6-2 and the 10 batter of the inning Brennan Boesch grounded out to David Cooper to end the inning.
In the top of the 7 inning 10 more batters came to the plate and Octavio Dotel faced the first 9 batters and got 2 outs and gave up 4 runs which had 2 walks, 2 singles, a homer, a hit batter, and a fielding error which were surrounded by 2 Ks and Boesch lead off and finished the inning again. Victor Martina had amazing game as he had a 2 run homer and 2 doubles while have 3 RBIs and helped the Tigers win 3 of 4 games in the series.
The Jays faced Ryan Perry and to sday he could not throw a strike would an understatement as walked the first 3 batters he faced to load the bases and then Cory Patterson doubled and 2 scored and the third runner was gunned at the plate for one out and a 10-4 lead for the Tigers and Patterson scored on an Edwin Encarnacion single and Arron Hill got hit but Jose Valverde came in and got Juan Rivera grounded out to end the game.
The Jays young pitchers are very easy to frustrate and unravel into a complete disaster and are frustrating to watch and it would be nice if the Jays bats could get a stronger starts to games would be a lot more fun to watch and the Jays would be able to win more games and home wins need to pile up for the Jays as they have already lost 3 of 4 and still have 13 home games in May and need to put wins together.
Red Sox coming to town and Drabek is waiting for them
