So tonight the pitching match up was Cocoa Puffs ( C.C. Sabathia ) Vs the boyfriend of miss USA ( Ricky Romero ) and they both got through the first inning with little problem as Mark Teixeira had the first hit of the game and then Cocoa Puffs went 1-2-3 through the inning and then in the bottom of the inning Ricky Romero gave up his biggest mistake of game with Canadian Russell Martin smashing his 9th homer which was a solo shot to give the Yankees a 1-0 lead. In the top of the third Rajai Davis got the first Jays hit of the game which lead to Yunel Escobar singled and Davis went first to third and Cory Patterson singled him in to tie it at 1 and in the bottom of the inning Romero gave up two singles and that was it. In the top of the fourth inning the box of cocoa puffs got spilled all over the field as he gave up 4 hits to the first 6 batters including a fielding error on Robinson Cano and got 3 runs to give the Jays 4-1 lead with a J.P. got a RBI single, Rajai Davis got a RBI single, and Johnny Mac put down a bunt and got a RBI on a fielders choice because of the error and Romero went 1-2-3 on the Yankees to keep the Jays in control of the game.
Cocoa puffs set down the last 16 batters on the game as he had a complete game while he was doing this the boyfriend of miss USA completed 7 innings and in the 7th he struggled and had first and second with one out and Derek Jeter at the plate and he grounded the ball to Johnny Mac at third who stepped on third and throw to first for a double play. The Boyfriend of Miss USA pitched 7 innings with 1 run on 7 hits and 3 walks and 4 Ks and he battled the Yankees hitters and got the better of them except that one pitch to Russell Martin and hit the showers with 4-1 lead.
Then the Jays bullpen came in and the Yankees just dominated the bullpen as they scored 2 runs in the 8 inning Casey Janssen gave up a double to Curtis Granderson and then got Mark Teixeira grounded out and A-rod struck out and then Marc Rzepczynski came in and did something he has not done to much this season and that is given hits and he gave up a double to Robinson Cano and Russell Martin singled and both earned a RBI. Then in the 9th Frank Francisco came in to close down the game and he started with the bottom of lineup with the eighth hitter Brett Gardner grounded out to Juan Rivera at first and then pinch hitter Jorge Posada doubled and that turned over the lineup again and Derek Jeter grounded out for out 2 and a runner at third and Curtis Granderson singled to tie the game at 4 and then he stole second and Teixeira single him in to win the game and Francisco needs a break from closing.
Jose Bautista is slumping right now and actually struck out with the bases loaded in the top of the third inning and was 0 for 4 tonight and the other Jays need to pick him up because he will diffidently pick it up later in the season.
The Jays need to get on a roll again and pile up wins in a row and hopefully Jo Jo can get his first win as a starter in almost 3 years and Freddy Gracia will be going at it head-to-head
