Brandon Morrow had a complete game three hit shutout

The Blue Jays got a gem from Brandon Morrow who only gave up two hits going into the ninth inning both by Mike Trout and both times he was erased by a ground ball double play and Morrow had only one ground ball double play last season in his last start of the season. So he went into the ninth inning facing the minimum of 24 batters and had not even 100 pitches and in the ninth inning he gave up a double to Mark Trumbo who was the only batter he faced above the minimum of 27 batters as he got the nest three in a row and had a complete game shutout three hitter and for the second straight game he has not walked a batter and not given up a run either and has not allowed a run in over 20 innings. One of the most impressive thing about the game was that he throw only 102 pitches and 75 for strikes and had 8 Ks and when U think that his other complete game shutout two years ago he throw 35 pitches and that is almost 4 pitches an inning and also that he got 9 ground balls out to fly ball outs. Going into the third inning the Angels pitchers had not given up a single hit in 17 innings and then in the third the Jays got one hit (Brett Lawrie single), then two straight hits (Colby Rasmus single), and that brought J.P. Arencibia to the plate who hit a ball to left field and Vernon Wells went back to the fence and could only turn and look as the ball landed in the Jays bullpen for a three-run shot and then Kelly Johnson got a single for the fourth straight hit. The Angels starter pitched well with only the homer being the sore point in his 7 inning performance where he gave up 3 earned runs on 5 hits and two walks along with 5 Ks but he fell victim in sixth of a fielding error by Mark Trumbo which allowed 2 unearned runs after Harden after given up a walk and an infield hit got Bautista and Lind but Edwin Encarnacion reached on the error and it made the final 5-0. It was a great performance by Brandon Morrow and hopefully it is the start of something good Tom Mehegan
