Before the game Miss Canada throw out the first pitch to Ricky Romero who is dating Miss USA so he has it very good. Talking about good that would be Brett Cecil tonight as for the first time in 9 games he did not give up a long ball and he even K'd 9 Orioles instead and pitched into the eighth inning and had given up a run on 5 hits and he most got out of the eighth only given up two more hits and that single run but instead Nick Markakis had nine lives as almost hit into a double play and he ran it out and was safe while the Orioles scored their run and then almost got catch stealing with Shawn Camp on the mound. In the ninth inning Kyle Drabek returned to the major league mound and fell behind his batters but went through the Orioles 1-2-3 and you would think that Cecil picked up his fifth victory of the season but instead he picked up his ninth loss on the season as the Orioles won 2-0 as Jeremy Guthrie who was the Orioles work horse and his 4.45 ERA and came out and pitched 7 innings of 3 hit shutout with 3 walks included 5Ks and the Blue Jays had more walks (5) than hits (3). Adam Lind had two of three Jays hits as he had been sucking his thumb on the bench for the last two games and Valdi had a RBI single in the sixth inning as Bautista still is watching too many pitches still even though he had the other hit and a walk to lead off the ninth but finished at third as Brett Lawrie ground out to end the game. The Orioles have won 6 games against the Blue Jays this season after the Jays swept them last season and it looks like the Jays do not take them seriously and will need to win the last two games of this series with Henderson Alvarez will keep trying to extend his 14 inning scoreless streak including eight scoreless innings against the Orioles in a 13-0 Jays wipe wash.
