Edwin Encarnacion got hit after hitting a homer in every game of the series
Edwin Encarnacion swung at one pitch in the game and it was his 7th homer of the seasoson and he has hit a homer in straight games and now has 20 RBIs on the season and the homer put the Jays ahead 2-1 in the sixth inning. The next time he stepped into the batters box in the eighth inning he was plunked with a fast ball on a 1-0 count and the Jays after that work up their bats they tattooed the M's all the way out of the country as they put up a 5 spot to give the Jays a 7-1 lead with Brett Lawrie having a two-run double with the bases loaded, Rajai then came home from third when M's catcher Miguel Olivo tried to pick him off at third but it got away from theird baseman Kyle Seager, and then Jeff Mathis hit a two-run homer to close out the inning.
Francisco Cordero came in on a non-save attempt and started shaky as he gave up a homer Miguel Olivo and then John Jaso doubled but he got his confidence back when Brett Lawrie made a leaping catch over by the crowd over by the third base bag and caught a ball off the bat from
Munenori Kawasaki and then Cordero k'd Chone Figgins and got Dustin Ackley to ground out to end the game.
The Jays in the 7-2 victory had Henderson Alvarez on the mound and he was in trouble during the game but would always settle down and leave them on base as the M's were 0 for 14 in the game and left 9 runners on and he got good defense like in the sixth inning after Kelly Johnson had a RBI single to make it 1-1 in the bottom of the fifth and Alex Liddi hit a ball to deep center field and Rasmus catch it and it would of been trouble as the next batter Kyle Seager doubled and would of been a M;s lead again but it was not. Alvarez did not have his best stuff as he gave up 6 hits and 3 walks and the only one to score off him was Chone Figgins on a 1-2 change up into the right field stands and he pitched into the seventh inning.
The found the best way to get even with a questionable hit batter which is to make them pay on the scoreboard
