Jays pitchers forgot how to field their position as Angel bats wake up

Kyle Drabek with the Angels lead 2-1 got into major trouble in the sixth inning as he gave up four straight hits yo open the inning before Jason Frasor replaced him and Drabek gave up a lead-off homer to Mark Trumbo who replaced the struggling Albert Pujols @ first base and he had two hits and a walk in the game. Drabek loaded the bases before leaving on a walk and two infield hits and then Jason Frasor gave up a sac fly RBI to Mike Trout who also had a fifth inning solo homer to make it 2-1 and then Jason Frasor had a ball off the bat of Alberto Callaspo and tried to start a double play but bounced it and everyone was safe and a 5 run scored as the Angels batted around. The Angels picked up another insurance run in the eighth when Mike Trout doubled and moved to third on a bunt single and came in on a RBI single by Kendrys Morales and Luis Perez throw a ball into the outfield for second throwing error on Jays pitching. The Angels used a lot of small ball as they bunted 4 times and got a hit two times ans two balls were hit back to the mound and both runners reached base and Jays pitchers walked 5 and gave up another infield hit and pop up single behind second base that Kelly Johnson was unable to get to and the Jays had three errors in the game as Adam Lind had missed a ball in the fifth that allowed the hitter to reach base. It was the three-run bat around sixth inning costed the Jays as the Jays would of tied it at 2 with an Adam Lind hit a solo homer to open the seventh inning and in the eighth inning Edwin Encarnacion was robbed by Vernon wells as he snagged a ball just before it hit the top of the fence for a RBI double at least it turned out to be the third out of the inning. Kyle Drabek had trouble in the game given up 8 hits and 5 walks along with 5 earned runs while C.J. Wilson proved that he was worth his contract tonight as he pitched 8 innings and gave up 2 runs on 6 hits and walked 3 and k'd 9 in an Angels 6-2 victory and the Angels fans will not be warming up to Pujols especially as Trumbo had two hits at first and Kendrys Morales had 3 of the Angels 13 hits and they only had 9 through the first two games of the series. Jose Bautista had a RBI single and went 1 for 4 and is hitting only .180 while Brett Lawrie had two of the Jays 6 hits and is hitting .284 which is second on the team behind Edwin's .287 average. Jays have a chance at winning a series in Anaheim with Drew Hutchison pitching Tom Mehegan
