The Jays bats just lite up the M's starter Jason Vargas in the first inning the Jays batted around which the started with the bases loaded with 2 outs in a scoreless game but then Colby Rasmus had a bases clearing double to give the Jays a 3-0 lead which was followed by a RBI single by Brett Lawrie and the inning was finished by Adam Lind's 6 homer which was a two run homer to give the Jays a 6-0 lead after one inning. So that gave Brad Mills a 6-0 lead before throwing a pitch and when he did throw one he looked good struck out two of the three batters he faced in the first inning while having a 1-2-3 inning and throw a nice 14 pitches but then he came out for the second inning and he was not the same pitcher as he left the ball up and it was crushed by the M's bats as he walked Mike Carp walked and Casper Wells hit a two-run homer and the next batter Miguel Olivo smacked his 15th homer and then Mills walked another batter before getting out of the inning with a 6-3 Jays lead. In the third inning Brad Mills came out and he pitched just the same as the second inning as the M's loaded the bases with two outs and then Trayvon Robinson stepped to the plate and hit a two run single and then Kyle Seager hit a RBI single to tie the game @ 6 and Brad Mills throw 56 pitches in the final two innings he pitched and it is most likely his last start for Blue Jays.
Then Luis Perez came into pitch the next 4 innings and did not have a single 1-2-3 inning but he did only gave up a run on 3 hits along a hit batter as well as 2 walks and 3Ks and he controlled the M's while the Jays put up 4 runs in the fifth inning as Colby Rasmus came to the plate again with the bases juiced but it did not last as Tom Wilhelmsen was good at bouncing the ball to the plate and that included Bautista coming home on a wild pitch as he walked for the final of his three straight walks in his first 3 at bats to open the game. Then Rasmus had a sac fly to score another run and Arron Hill then also had a sec fly and then J.P. had a RBI single and the Jays were up 10-6 and then in the sixth inning the Jays put up three more runs as with a runner on Jose Bautista finally got a pitch to hit and parked a two-run homer for his 35th homer of the season and Arron Hill finished off the scoring with a RBI single to make the final 13-7.
The Jays had a big games from Luis Perez who may pitch in Mills spot in Oakland while Colby Rasmus had 4 RBIs and so did Arron Hill who went 2 for 4 and then there was the guy filling the seats Brett Lawrie had his first three hit game in his major league career with a RBI and scored two runs. Both Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion walked three times as the M's walked 7 batters in the game and 5 of them came around to score which was compared to 2Ks of the Blue Jays batters.
Brett Lawrie juiced up the attendance to just over 23 K when the highest attendance the last time the Jays were there was 16 K.
