Game 90 - 43 - 47 - Rajai Davis and Travis Snider produced all the offense as the Jays piled on the Indians

So Jo Jo Reyes had a pretty good pitching performance going into the sixth inning as he had given up only 2 runs on 6 hits but did have 3 walks along with no Ks and then got the first 2 batters out in the sixth but than hit a wall as he gave up back-to-back singles which brought last nights hero Travis Hafner to the plate where he reached on a Yunel Escobar error which was one of the two errors on the night which lead to a run scoring so Reyes gave up 3 runs on 8 hits over 5.2 inning. Then there was Travis Snider who went 3 for 5 with 5 RBIs and 2 run scored to lead the Jays as he opened the scoring with a ground out in the second inning and then in the sixth inning hit a two-run homer (2) and finally had a two run double (9) in the ninth. He was not the only run producer in tonight's 11-7 Blue Jays win as Rajai Davis after having very close to worst hitting month in Major League history has turned it around nicely over the last few games including tonight's 3 for 4 with 4 RBIs and scored 2 runs as he had a two run single in the second and had a RBI single in the fourth and then in the sixth grounded into a force out and then with two outs he was on second and stole third and on the missed played ball by Jack Hannahan that went down the third baseline he scored. Finally Rajai Davis in the eighth inning he had a RBI double to drive in Travis Snider as either Davis or Snider factored into every run in the game as one of them either got the RBI or scored the run in the game.

Just like last night the Jays had a commanding lead this time 9-3 going into the bottom of the eighth inning and this time it was Shawn Camp coming in and not getting anyone out as he gave up singles to all four batters he faced and when Jason Frasor came in to save the day again he first meet Travis Hafner who he struck out and then the only hit he gave up in his inning of work was a two run double to Travis Buck to make it 9-6 but Frasor retired the next two batters to end the inning. Then to close out the game Jon Rauch came in with the score now 11-6 and he got a strike out and ground out of the first two batters he faced but then gave up singles to Lou Marson who then stole second and finally scored on a RBI single to Micheal Brantley which brought Asdrubal Cabrera to the plate and Rauch struck him out to end the game.

Jays finally win another game
