Jays turn their first triple play since 1979 and win the game

Kyle Drabek gave up only 4 hits over 5.1 innings but he was extremely wild as he gave up 6 walks in the game which is crazy 1.5 walk to a hit in his start and he only gave up two runs (one earned) in the game with Mike Moustakas hitting a solo homer into the bullpen in the second inning and Jeff Francoeur came home on a wild pitch by Drabek to make it 2-0. What kept the Jays in the game was their defense which had a center piece of the first Jays offical triple play in 33 years (since 1979 and the fourth in the Jays history) that happened in the bottom of the third when Eric Hosmer lined a ball to Adam Lind who went down and catch the ball and ran to first to double up Yuniesky Betancourt and throw to second to erase a lead off a double by Alex Gordon and that helped the offense as before the triple play Luke Hochevar, the Royals starting pitcher had only allowed a hit batter to Jose Bautista in the first 3 innings and struck out 5 of the 10 batters he faced and the Jays only put the ball into play 3 times and only Yunel Escobar in his second plate appears got the ball into the outfield. After the triple play Kelly Johnson walked in the fourth which was the beginning of the bats waking up as in the fifth Eric Thames singled, Colby Rasmus walked, and J.P. Arencibia had his first on two RBI singles to cut the lead to 2-1 as Hochevar was done after five with ankle problems. The Jays got a double play behind Drabek with of course a walk on and in the sixth with a walk and a single on Luis Perez came in and struck out both Mike Moustakas and Humberto Quintero to end the inning and he continued into the seventh he got two quick out with another strike out and a ground out and after he got into trouble with walk and a single he then struck out Eric Hosmer looking to end the inning and he had 4 strike outs in his 1.2 innings pitched. In the top of the eight Greg Holland came in and simply could not throw a strike to save his life as he throw 22 pitches and faced 5 batters and 3 of them where turned around for hits as Colby Ramus doubled and J.P. singled him home for a 2-2 tie then Escobar walked while the very rare decision to intentionally walk Kelly Johnson to get to Bautista (it was a 3-0 count and the fourth was intentional). Holland actually stayed into pitch to Bautista who hit a RBI single after barely missing a pitch before to give the Jays the lead 3-2 and with Jose Mijares on the mound Edwin Encaracion had a sac fly to make it 4-2. Sergio Santos pitched the ninth inning and got into a little trouble with one out he gave up a double to Alcides Escobar and with two outs he gave up a RBI single to Yuniesky Betancourt and because it was only 4-3 he still had a chance to shut the door and he did as he got Eric Hosmer to ground out to Kelly Johnson to end the game. J.P. Arencibia has tripled his hit totals in just over 24 hours as he came into last night game with only 2 hits and like a .060 batting average and after two hits in his last two games he is now hitting .154 and has 7 RBIs this season while Santos has not had a save opportunity in over a week and still put his best foot forward and got the job done. Kyle Drabek had a serious set back as he throw 100 pitches and 49 for balls and at least it is only one start and it will be interesting to see he bounces back from this. Lets see if the Jays can make it 9 loses in a row for the Royals tomorrow night Tom Mehegan
