Lawrie ends it in the ninth after Cordero blow it

So the Jays headed into the ninth inning after rallying back from 5-0 after an inning and a half and was looking good as Francisco Cordero got two quick outs but then gave up three straight singles and it ended with former Blue Jay Micheal Young had a RBI single to tie up the game at 7. Then in the bottom of the ninth Brett Lawrie lead it off and was ahead 2-0 and Mike Adams battled back to a 2-2 count and then on a 3-2 count he got a hold of a ball and sent it to deep center field and it bounced off the top of the wall and bounced out for a homer and as he turned third base and throw away his helmet and started to point at the Jays at home plate and he jumped on home plate and the team attacked him and he had his jersey taken off and ran around home plate and waited for the on field announcer for sportsnet came over to interview him. The Rangers took a 5-0 lead in the top of the second inning as Drew Hutchison k'd the first four batters he faced and then the Rangers decided to attack first pitches as Hutchison was first pitch strikes and the Rangers got five of the next six batters which included Alberto Gonzalez's RBI single, Craig Gentry reached on a force out at second of Gonzalez as a run scored, Ian Kinsler had a two run RBI double, and Elvis Andrus had a RBI single. Hutchison gave up two hits and a walk in the next 4 innings and he gave up a run in the fourth inning after Alberto Gonzalez singled and scored on back-to-back fielding errors by Yunel Escobar and Kelly Johnson and that was all as he gave up 6 runs on 7 hits and 2 walks and he pitched well against the best hitting team in the american league. The Rangers starting pitcher Neftali Feliz got a double plays in the first and second inning and only gave up a single in each but in the third with one out both Colby Rasmus and Jeff Mathis and with two outs Kelly Johnson hit a three-homer and that was followed by a booming shot from Jose Bautista. Neftali Feliz gave up 4 hits and 6 walks and gave up 4 runs but he survived the night and left the game with a 6-3 lead is because the Rangers defense turned 4 double plays after they had come into the game with 17 of them. The Jays put up a three spot in the seventh inning as they loaded the bases and Mathis hit a double play ball to give himself a RBI and ran it out to make it possible for a RBI ground out by Yunel Escobar and Kelly Johnson had a RBI single to give the Jays a 7-6 lead and helped the Jays be able to take the series. Also Jose Bautista had a ball thrown over his head in the seventh inning and then really wanted to crush a second ball out of the stadium and hopefully it will help him snap out of this daze that he has been in since last season's all-star break. Ricky Romero has a chance to win the series against the Rangers tomorrow afternoon Tom Mehegan
