So the Jays started well and ended up bring the tying run into the on deck circle but everything was a complete mess as Brett Cecil struck out the side in the first around a single by Alberto Callaspo and the in the bottom of the inning as apart of their three hit nights both Mike McCoy and Eric Thames singled and with one out Edwin Encarnacion had a RBI single to give the Jays a 1-0 but that's all they got in the first. In the Second inning Brett Cecil gave up a solo homer to Vernon his 23 homer and 60 RBI on the season as Brett Cecil gave up another homer and after given up a homer in his last game he has now given up homers in 8 of his last 9 games but then the Jays got the lead back as Colby Rasmus doubled and with one out and J.P. walk at second Mike McCoy has a RBI ground out and the Jays lead 2-1 after 2.
In the Top of the third Brett Cecil got to quick outs as Bobby Wilson grounded out and Peter Bourjos tried bunt his way on and J.P. throw him out at first and it looked like Cecil was settling down but then the Angles exploded with 4 hits and a walk from their next five batters including Howard Kendrick RBI ground rule double, Mark Trumbo RBI single, and Vernon Wells RBI ground rule double to give the Angels a 4-2 lead. Brett Cecil left after 3 innings giving up 3 runs, 6 hits, 2 walks, and 3Ks in his first appearance in 11 days and in the fourth Kyle Drabek came in and was everywhere except getting Angels out as Erick Aybar double to open the inning and moved to third on a sac bunt by Bobby Wilson and then stole home. As the inning continued Peter Bourjos singled and was wild pitched to second and when tried to pick him McCoy missed the ball and it went into the outfield and Bourjos advanced to third and came home on a Alberto Callaspo sac fly to make it 6-2. Then with two outs in the inning Howard Kendrick and Torii Hunter both singled and then that was followed up by a Mark Trumbo hitting a three run homer to make it 9-2. The Angels ended up with 7 hits and walk with two out in the third and fourth combined and Kyle Drabek also pitched pitch the fifth with no problems but then could not get an out in the sixth given up doubles to Peter Bourjos and Alberto Callaspo and a walk and leaving given up 6 runs on 7 hits and a walk in two plus innings.
So down by 8 10-2 in the seventh the Jays put up a 3 stop as McCoy and Thames lead off with singles and Bautista walked to load the bases with no outs and Edwin Encarnacion had like his third Sac fly of the season and Kelly Johnson had a RBI single which just before Brett Lawrie scorched a ball down to third where Alberto Callaspo made a brilliant play and got Lawrie out at first when it should of been a two run double down into the left field corner but instead only one run scores and the Jays went to the bottom of the ninth down 10-5.
In the bottom of the ninth the Jays got an Eric Thames single and then both Bautista and Encarnacion struck out but Kelly Johnson reached on an error on first baseman Mark Trumbo who missed the catch and Thames scored. While Brett Lawrie was at the plate Johnson stole second by indifference before walking and finally with J.P. on deck as the tying run Scott Downs came into strike up Colby Rasmus to end the game.
So it was another one of those kind of games where your pitching lets U down as 6 of the Angels 10 runs came with two outs in the inning and both Cecil and Drebek just could not get that final out and it hurt the team.
