Jays score runs in bunches behind Lawrie

The Jays got into Miami early yesterday evening while the Marlins started their game in Boston when the Jays were already in town and by the time the Marlins joined the party on south beach it was between 5 and 6 AM this morning. The Jays took advantage of the tired Marlins team and laid double digits in runs for the fourth game in the last 8 games that the Marlins have played as the Jays won 12-5 as the Jays scored in 5 of the innings and crocked numbers in three of them. If the Marlins were sleepy than their nightmare was Brett Lawrie who started it felt like he lead off every inning and he did lead off in the first, third, sixth, and seventh inning. He also batted in the fourth and the ninth inning and he got on base the first four times he came to the plate and scored all four times as he tripled in the first and was driven home by a Colby Rasmus sac fly. In the third he singled and was driven home by a RBI single by Jose Bautista and he was driven home by a Kelly Johnson sac fly in a two-run third inning. In the fourth inning Brett Lawrie followed a Ricky Romero single with a single and quietly went base-to-base and scored on Edwin Encarnacion who walked in him after Bautista walked in Romero and it was a 3 run inning to give the Jays a 6-0 lead after Kelly Johnson had his second sac fly of the game. In the sixth inning Brett Lawrie walked and was brought home with a Kelly Johnson RBI single to give him a three RBI game and it was apart of a five run inning to make it 11-2 which was ended by Miami Native J.P. Arencibia had a two run double and that was after the Marlins had put up single runs in the fourth and fifth. Jose Bautista finished the scoring for the Jays as he knocked out his 23rd homer of the season and the 11th in the month of June and the Marlins got a two-run homer from Omar Infante off Romero before Bautista and Gaby Sanchez after Bautista off Robert Coello. Ricky Romero was cruising through three innings as he faced one batter over the limit and one hit til the fourth as he gave up a solo shot to Giancarlo Stanton and a double and got out of there with only a run given up and in the fifth he gave a single and a walk and battled back and only gave up a RBI single to Hanley Ramirez. In the sixth he lost the strike zone as he gave up 6 straight balls and after a called strike Omar Infante his two-run homer and Romero pitched 7 innings and gave up four runs on 7 hits with his down side being the two homers and 4 walks but he really did an amazing job getting through 7 innings.
