Brandon Morrow did not help the Jays in Texas

Brandon Morrow pitched his shortest start in his career as he only got two outs and faced 10 batters and gave up 6 runs on 5 hits and gave up three walks including the first two Ranger's batters and 3 of the first 6 batters. The Rangers got key hits in the inning as Adrian Beltre had a two-run single, Nelson Cruz had a three-run double, and Mitch Moreland had a RBI single and Rangers took a 6-0 lead and Cruzed to a 14-3 victory that was capped off by Nelson Cruz hitting his second grand slam of the season in the seventh inning off Jason Frasor and he ended up with four hits and 8 RBIs. Morrow will need to put this start out of his mind immediately and when he starts in the finale of the O's series on Wednesday he comes out pitches like he has most of the season. The Rangers starters all reached base in the game and Mitch Moreland was the only Rangers starter to not score a run but he still had three hits which was the same as Micheal Young, and Adrian Beltre as the Rangers ended up with 18 hits and the Jays ate hoping that the Rangers have gotten all their hits out in the first of three against the Rangers. The Jays walked 7 more batters and are a run away leader of given up 189 walks in their 46 games as they came into the game tied with the Padres with 182 and Padres had only 4 walks in their game and the Jays lead now by 3 walks. The Jays bullpen was tired out for the first real time this season as Carlos Villaneuva pitched 4.1 innings and will not be able to pitch until the Jays arrive home on Monday and Ryota Igarashi became the third Jays player from Japan and he pitched a very long inning and probably headed back to the Minors and bring back Crawford who was sent down and maybe an extra just in case the Jays need more long relieve in the last two games of the series. Jose Bautista had a two-run single to himself 23 RBIs in May which is second to Josh Hamilton's 25 RBIs and Edwin had a solo homer and maybe the Jays will be able to build off Bautista's eighth inning hit. Jays have played well against the Rangers and Alvarez hopefully pitches well in the heat Tom Mehegan
