Jeff Mathis pulls out a victory for the Blue Jays

Jeff Mathis was the horo of the game for the Jays because the Tigers up 2-1 in the bottom of the fourth and with the bases loaded and two outs he stepped up to the plate and delivered a bases clearing double to put the Jays up for good and after Anthony Gose drove him home to make it 5-3 on their way to beat the Tigers 8-3.The Tigers starter Rick Porcello on the ropes in the fourth throwing 36 pitches in the inning after only thrown 31 pitches through the first three innings. All the Jays reached base and every except for Yan Gomez got a hit with Omar Vizquel in the two hole picking up two of the Jays 9 hits. Carlos Villenuva how is now 6-0 on the season is sneaking up on Ricky Romero for most wins on the Jays staff as Ricky has 8 wins and Carlos is now tied with Henderson Alvarez for second with 6 wins. It was not easy for Villanuva as he did not have a finishing pitch as he had 7 of his 29 pitches in the first inning by fouled off with Miguel Cabrera fouling off a 2-2 pitch before taken him deep for his 25 and solo shot and the so little prince fouled off the first pitch he was and on the second took him deep for the only damage in the game. He followed up his 29 pitch first with a 27 pitch second with a eight strike out Jhonny Peralta where he fouled off four pitches while Alex Avila with a 1-2 count on him fouled off four pitches in a 10 pitch walk in the inning for the only base runner and got was boring for the D that when Colby Rasmus caught out No.2 he thought it was three and started going to the dugout. In the finally three innings he faced 11 batters and gave up two singles and hit the not so little prince and got a double play ball behind him and through only 43 pitches and ended up going 5 innings and gave up 2 runs on 4 hits with 2 walks while striking out 3 Tigers for a challenge of a game. Rick Porcello had only the fourth inning in trouble as gave up 4 of his 5 runs in the inning and gave up both of his walks and 3 of his 6 hits in the inning as he went on to pitch 6 innings. Edwin Encarnacion's hit drove in Vizquel in the first while Brett Lawrie's hit was a triple in the seventh and was driven home Vizquel's triple as the Jays had back-to-back triple while Travis Snider hit was his third homer off the season as he escorted Yan Gomez home after he reached base on a throwing error by Omar Infante. The Bullpen pitched well with only Darren Oliver given up a RBI single to the not so little prince as Arron Loop got four straight batters, Brandon Lyon pitched two-thirds of an inning gave up a single, and it looked like it was going to a real quick ninth for Casey Janssen is a non-save situation as he got two outs in four pitches but it took him 7 pitches to get Austin Jackson to end the game. It has been two game since Adam Lind has played and three since Yunel Escobar has played with his bad back Tom Mehegan
