Jays sweep away the Yankees

Drew Hutchison pitched six innings of 5 hit ball but did walk and k'd 3 but only gave up a single run as when got into trouble he was able to stay composed and left 7 runners on base and did not allow the Yankees to get a hit with a runner in scoring position as they 0 for 9 with runners in scoring position. The Bullpen was perfect tonight as they retired all 9 batters they faced with Jason Frasor pitching the seventh, Darren Oliver pitching the eighth, and Casey Janssen came in and closed the door on a Blue Jays 4-1 victory to pick-up his third straight save. The bats were booming again tonight as they had nine hits as Jose Bautista muscled his way over the .200 mark as he had another two-hit game and had another homer that was still not hit as far as his foul off the pitch before that landed in the 500 level but he still has 5 homers in the last week and now has 10 on the season and it looks like he is just getting started. The Jays fans welcomed Yan Gomez to the majors and he is the first Brazilian born Major league baseball player and he made his mark by getting two singles after striking out in his major league first at bat and came very close to scoring on the first and getting a RBI the second time but it looks like he will be playing third for the series against the Mets as Lawrie taken his medicine and sitting out the series. J.P. Arencibia with the Adam Lind to Las Vegas story moved up to fifth in the order and hit his fifth homer a two-run shot to give him 20 RBIs and is hitting .243 which is simply amazing as he was hitting well under .100 in late April and is now the fourth Blue Jay to get 20 RBIs is season with Encarnacion (34(, Kelly Johnson (21), and Bautista (21). Yunel Escobar had another two hit night while Omar Vizquel was brought into play third in the eighth and the first pitch Darren Oliver throw was hit to Omar's right and dove and snagged it before it hit the ground for a great catch.
