Jays could not get that first out of the innings
Jessie Chavez started the game for the Blue Jays and had a pretty solid outing in the 8-0 loss except that beaten up by the long ball and the first was in the second inning when he could not the first out of the inning as it took five batters to get the that tough out. To get to the first out he gave up two singles sandwiched around a double and the struggling former Jays catcher John Buck who came in to the game with a .160ish batting average and he came up with two on and delivered a three run shot to put the Marlins 4-0 and then he got the next three batters 1-2-3. Then after retiring 7 straight Marlins he went into the sixth and gave up a single to Logan Morrison and then was driven home on a two-run homer to Greg Dobbs as Chavez had a problem getting the first out of the inning but then get the next 3 in a row and pitched 6 innings given up 6 runs on 7 hits and k'd 6 and did not walk a batter.
The Jays bats were not able to recover from the Marlins taking the lead as they were facing the workhorse called Mark Buehrle who was the free agent pitcher the Jays should of gone after this past summer and would be looking very nice in the Jays rotation and he pitched 7 very good innings of 7 hit ball with 2 walks and k'd 7 Jays batters. The Jays had a few chances against him as Brett Lawrie had a clear double at least taken away in the first inning by Logan Morrison and in the third inning the Jays had two on for Bautista who ended the inning by flying to center field. In the fifth with Lawrie on second with a double with two outs and then Colby Rasmus singled and Lawrie tried to challenge Giancarlo Stanton's arm who throw a frozen rope to the plate and Lawrie tried to not be a dead duck trying to get in through the back door but he was a goner as so as he tried to score and left Bautista on deck. In the sixth the Jays got an infield hit to open the inning and with one out Yunel Escobar hit a ball to Jose Reyes who looked like he had just stopped Bautista from going from first to third but instead Reyes got Bautista at second base on a bang bang play.
The Jays just were unable to get that key hit while the Marlins took advantage of a couple pitches which the Jays had been doing in the first two games of the series but win a series against the Marlins is strong as they had only 4 wins in the last 20 games against the Marlins and are .500 in interleague play.
Huge Series against the Red Soxs to start the week at Fanway Park as the soxs are right with the Jays coming into today's game
