Roof opening brings Jays to life

The Roger Centre Roof was closed for the first three innings and Brett Cecil got into a bite of trouble and was down 3-0 after three innings as he gave up three runs in the third as he gave up back-to-back singles to Jeff Francoeur and Salvador Perez to open the inning and with still no outs yet Jason Bourgeois cleared the bases with a two-run triple and driven home by a sac fly from Alex Gordon. This was all that Brett Cecil gave up over 6 plus innings as he only a single and walk to open the fourth inning before leaving after given up his second x-base hit of the game to Mike Moustakas a double and Cecil bunched his 5 hits and a walk and battle to pitch very well in the game. In the bottom of the third with the roof rolled back the Jays put up another 6 spot on their opponents as they collected 8 hits in the inning and sent 11 batters to the plate against Vin Mazzaro who with the roof closed had the only two hits he had given up be erased and had faced the minimum 9 batters through the first three innings. So in the fourth inning the Jays did it with small ball as Colby Rasmus had a bunt single and Edwin Encarnacion had a RBI single on an infield hit and they played long ball as with the game tied at three Adam Lind took Mazzaro deep for the only long ball of the game a three-run shot to finish the scoring in the game as it made the final 6-3. The Jays collected 3 more hits and a walk over their last four times to the plate as everybody had at least one hit as the Jays collected 13 hits while the Jays only gave up a double to Jarrod Dyson as Jason Frasor in the seventh, Darren Oliver in the eighth, and Casey Janssen retired 9 of the last 10 Royals they faced to shut the roof on the Royals. It took them 25 pitches to finish off the last 9 outs of the game and Casey Janssen was on fire in the ninth like he just had better things to do than face the Royals as went after their all-star Billy Butler and struck him out in three pitches and only throw 7 pitches in the ninth. Jays are 41-40 after the first half Tom Mehegan
