I was at the game tonight and I was the only person in the center field seats and I had looked at the seats on the website and it said the seat were not available so I thought I was going to be the only person in the center field and in the bottom of the first inning and got very excited that Rios was heading my way. I had fun yelling and screaming at Rios and by the end of Chisoxs abat most of the first row was filled and by the end of the Jays abat there were a few fans a couple of rows up and the Rios comments came fast and furies and it was fun with help from the fans in right and left field it was amazing.
The Jays got some great hitting in the first inning with 3 hits and a run as the Jays took an early 1-0 as the ball split Rios and Juan Pierre and it bounced off the wall on a Juan Rivera double and Yunel Escobar scored. In the top of the third Juan Pierre tripled and looking at these past 2 games Juan Pierre is one of the most exciting Chisoxs with his speed and Alexei Ramirez had a sac fly to tie the game @ 1 and in the bottom of the fourth Arron Hill singled and Rajai Davis tripled him home but Davis ended up getting thrown out at the plate trying to steal home and the Jays lead 2-1 after four inning. In the top of the fifth Adam Dunn walked followed by singles by both Juan Pierre and Alexei Ramirez which loaded the bases and then Carlos Quentin walked in Dunn to tie the game @ 2. In the seventh the Jays got a lead off single by Jose Molina and with one out Yunel Escobar doubled home Jayson Nix to make it 3-2 and in the eighth J.P and Rajai Davis singled around an Arron Hill fly out to Rios and Jose Molina singled in J.P. to make it 4-2 and in the world of closer by comity it was Jon Rauch turn and with a Dallas McPherson struck out when Juan Pierre hit an infield hit just behind the mound. So a wild pitch followed by a passed ball while Alexei Ramirez was batting and then Rauch struck out Ramirez followed by a Carlos Quentin grounded out to first and Juan Rivera stepped on the base to end the game and end the Jays 3 game losing streak.
Kyle Drabek if U look just at the bottom line of 2 runs on 3 hits but when U look closer at the line U see 6 walks with 66 strikes and 55 balls in 6.2 innings pitched and it looks more like a game where he had problems finding the plate on a consistent basis so when he is able to stay in the strike zone he will be a sight to see but not yet. While Mark Buehrle the guy who pitched a no hitter a couple of seasons ago just got beaten up by Jays hitters over 7 innings pitched given up 9 hits and 3 runs earned with 2 walks and 3 Ks and he could of been broken earlier in the game put the hit and the right moment was lacking once again.
More seagulls in the Roger Center and this time it was 3 instead of one and the Jays have tied up the series at 1 and need to take control of it with Villanueva on the mound tomorrow
