Jays have a luke warm road trip as they struggle against the Twins Dimond in the rough

Jays come home with a 5-5 record against a struggling Angels team, an A's team with a lot of fight, and the worst team in the American league the Twins as they are on the losing side of two of the Twins 10 wins this season. They now will come home to meet New York as they meet the home team of the Yankees spring training facilities in the Tampa Bay Rays, followed by the Yankees themselves both for two games each and finish it off with the Mets which will be the first time a New York team follows a New York team and it will be a battle to get a winning series out of Tampa/Yankees and then 2 of 3 from the Mets. So the road trip ends with the Jays Ace Ricky Romero not knowing where the strike zone was as throw 51 strikes compared to 48 balls and is not his self as he has been struggling for weeks and the walks have jumped huge as another 5 walks and no strike outs and really got through the first four innings by the skin of his teeth as he got a huge catch by Jose Bautista at the wall to end the first leaving a double on. In the second he got help from a double play to erase a single before walking his first of the game and in the third he got a ground ball double play to erase a lead off single which came right before Brian Dozier hit his first major league homer a second level bomb which was only a solo shot. In the fourth he got a magic play from the knees of Brett Lawrie who with runners on the corners a nubber and from his knees was able to get the runner at home on a squeeze attempt to keep the only down 1-0. In the fifth the magic was finished as Ricky gave up two singles followed by two straight walks the second of course walking in a run for the second game in a row and then the big hit happened with no out and bases juiced and Ryan Doumit singled in two to make it 4-0 Twins and with another double play Ricky was able to get out of the inning with no more damage. The Jays were struggling over the first 7 innings against Guelph Ontario Native Scott Diamond who shutout the Jays on 5 hits and he k'd four Jays that he watch grown up and he maybe a dimond in the rough for the Twin as he has allowed 10 base runners as a Twins starter in 14 innings and is 2-0 without given up a run. The Jays were able to get to Jared Burton who came into the game retiring the last 34 batters he faced and had only gave up 3 hits in the season and today the Jays got three straight singles including a RBI single from Yunel Escobar and after popped up Edwin Encarnacion singled which was one of his three hits on the day and a run scored on a ground out by Eric Thames and a third run came in on a wild pitch by pitcher Glen Perkins. The Twins closer: Matt Capps came in and with one out gave up a single to J.P. Arencibia and then Adam Lind came off the bench and a ball hard but it was too fly and Josh Willingham got it in foul ground for the second out and pinch runner Jeff Mathis moved up to second on the catch but Kelly Johnson struck out swinging to end the game. It will be a tough road @ home Tom Mehegan
