Jays use their power to eliminate their pitching woes
The Jays and Brewers found different ways to score a lot of runs and the Jays finally came out with the win 10-9 in an almost 4 hours for a nine inning game.
The Jays used the long ball as the top four hitters in the Jays lineup went 8 for 14 with 6 homers, 7 RBIs, and scored 8 runs of the Jays 10 runs in the game while the Brewers got 8 free passes (7 walks and a hit batter) in the game and 4 free passes brought in runs and 4 also scored runs.
The Jays got an early 2-0 lead in the third inning on Brett Lawrie's two-run homer in the third and the Jays got a good 2.1 innings pitched by Jesse Chavez who was making his first ever start in the majors and retired 7 of his first 8 hitters he faced. Then Brewers starter making his major league debut Tyler Thornburg came up and smoked a pitch from Chavez into center field and got a double from it and then Chavez went into the stretch and just could not get out of the third inning as 7 of 8 batters reached base ( two doubles, four walks, and a hit batter ) and had a four run inning and they took a 4-2 lead.
In the sixth inning the Jays with one out the Jays hit back-to-back-to-back homers with Colby Rasmus, Jose Bastista, and Edwin Encarnacion all hitting solo shots and finished off the inning with two singles around a walk all with two outs and J.P. Arencibia finished it all off with a RBI single which was apart of a three hit night and had a four run inning and took a 6-4 lead.
Jays brought in Robert Coello who gave up a single, a double, and a walk as he only faced four batters and then Jason Frasor came in and walked Ryan Braun to bring in a run and then Aramis Ramirez came up and just like last night he turned the game around the game with another homer this time it was a grand salami to give the Brewers a 9-6 lead.
The Jays with two outs in the seventh they got a walk to Jose Bautista and then Edwin Encarnacion hit a ball to Ryan Braun and Jose Bautista put the pressure on Braun as he went first to third and Braun throw the ball away and Jose Bautista scored on the throwing error and then Yunel Escobar singled in double E to bring the Jays within a run at 9-8.
Then in the ninth John Axford came in to close down the Jays and started by facing Colby Rasmus who on a 3-1 pitch took Axford deep as he hit a homer into the right field corner and then Jose Bautista went back-to-back with Colby. Casey Janssen came in and closed down the Brewers with a good placement of Kelly Johnson as Farrell was going nuts on the top step before the pitch of the game that went right to Johnson who was like in Lawrie's position in the shift and got it to double E.
Jays look for a series victory as they look for a starter for tomorrow afternoon game
