Henderson Alvarez behind amazing D pitches strong

So Henderson Alvarez pitched 7 innings of 5 hit ball and gave up only a single run as the highest scoring team in the Majors beat the Tigers in front of 41 thousand fans 5-1 as the Jays have kept the # of Tigers fans coming down from Detroit/Windsor area very quiet. Henderson Alvarez got off on the right foot today as only allowed a single in the first inning but the Tigers did hit him hard in the inning and if it was not a great leaping gab by Brett Lawrie off the bat of the first Tigers hitter of the game Austin Jackson it may have been a completely different story as Lawrie took a double away from Jackson. Then with two outs in the first with Miguel Cabrera on first and the not so little prince at the plate Snider made a running diving catch to end the inning just before the ball would have hit the ground for a RBI double or triple for Fielder. Henderson got into a little bit trouble in the fourth with two outs and Jays 1-0 he gave up a single to Delmon Young who scored on a RBI double by Brennan Boesch but then set down five Tigers before walking Cabrera and the not so little Prince before getting two fly balls to end the inning on his way to retiring his last 5 batters of the game. Henderson Alvarez helped himself in the third inning snagging a ground ball at the mound off the bat of the not so little prince to starting an inning ending double play which was his 21 ground ball double play of the season and Rajai Davis made a good catch for the second out in the second inning off the bat of Jhonny Peralta. The Jays continued to drive home runners from third base with less than two outs as have been scoring on sac flies 65% of the time this season with it being Colby Rasmus hitting one deep enough for Anthony Gose to score in the third inning for the first run of the game. Then it was mostly about the power game as Edwin Encarnacion slugged his 28 homer of the season to lead off the bottom of the fourth to put the Jays in front for good and Yunel Escobar who is in the lineup for the first time in four games put another run on the board with a solo shot to lead off the seventh and in the eighth with a Rajai Davis double on Colby Rasmus escorted him home with a two run homer to give him a two hit night and 3 RBIs. Brett Lawrie and Yan Gomez had two of the Jays 10 hits in the game as Lawrie continued his hitting streak to seven and with Adam Lind maybe going on the DL back stiffness his bat will be very important to the Jasy. The Jays also used their speed as well as they got three stolen bases off Tigers starter An/Avila Sanchez who was making his first start as a Tiger after being apart of the fire sale in Miami. The Jays also took advantage a wild pitches from Sanchez and moved up as Anthony Gose moved to third in the third to be able to score on Rasmus's sac fly. Jays finish up a six game homestand tomorrow before going West to Seattle Tom Mehegan
