Jays shutout by O's as the O's have their number so far this season
So for the third series in a roll against the AL East they can at best win a1 of 3 games in a series as they have lost 4 games in a row against the AL East and are 4-5 this season.
Tonight the O's continued their dominates against the Blue Jays as they shut them out 3-0 and are now 4-1 against the Jays this season and Kyle Drabek was the Jays starting pitcher and he allowed 2 runs on 5 hits in 6 innings with 3 walks and 3 Ks and gave up two solo homers by Wilson Betemit in the second inning and then Chris Davis in the fourth inning. He got very lucky twice in his 6 innings to get a double play as he got one in the third just before J.J. Hardy hit a double in the third so it did not allow a run to score and then in the fourth just before Chris Davis's homer Matt Wieters grounded into a double play which other wise would of been a much more powerful homer.
The Jays caught a break in the top of the fourth with two on Brett Lawrie hit it to Hardy at short and the ump gave Lawrie the benefit of the doubt because he runs out everything and was called safe to load the bases but Colby Rasmus got k'd to end the inning. The only other chance the Jays had was in the top of the ninth when Adam Lind singled and Eric Thames hit a ball back to the O's pitcher Pedro Strop and was safe and it was first and second no outs but the Jays did not get another hit. This was after Adam Jones doubled home a walk on the bottom of the eighth to make it 3-0 and O's pitchers only gave up 6 hits and a walk including their starter
Jason Hammel who struck out 7 Jays over 7 innings and gave up only 4 hits and only got into trouble in the fourth when the bases loaded.
Drew Hutchison pitching tomorrow to save the Jays a game in this series
