The top of the Jays orders powers them to victory

Arron Laffy did not have his best stuff in the Jays 10-4 win as he left fastballs up in the strike zone and early in the first two games of the series Josh Reddick showed how he used his leather and today in the first inning he used his bat as he hit a solo homer with two out. Then in the fourth he gave up an one out single to Yoenis Cespedes and after a strikeout of Chris Carter Brandon Inge then muscled just enough to put a two-run homer into the Jays bullpen and the A's were up 3-0. Tommy Milone was the starter for the A's and through three innings he had not allowed a base runner so the Jays finally turned over the batting in the fourth and the top of the order in the second at bat against him went 3 of 4 with Rajai Davis singled as the lead off hitter and with one out Brett Lawrie singled and Edwin Encarnacion followed up with his career high 27th homer a three-run bomb to tie the game. Then Arron Laffy got into trouble in the five with a couple who walks around a Coco Crisp double to load the bases Josh Reddick hit a tough double play and beat it out at first to put the A's up 4-3. The Jays top of the order the third time throw the order went 2 of 4 with singles from Colby Rasmus and Brett Lawrie and on a bunt single by Travis Snider they both scored as an error on Tommy Milone allowed Lawrie to score to give the Jays the lead for good. Fourth time through the order in the eighth the Jays faced Sean Doolittle and the top of the order went 1 for 3 with a walk to Lawrie and a single to Encarnacion and Lawrie scored on a Travis Snider double to give him 3 RBIs in the game and Yan Gomez sac fly brought in Encarnacion. The eighth inning finished with back-to-back doubles to Kelly Johnson, who also had a solo homer in the seventh inning, and Jeff Mathis to finish off a four run eighth inning. Brandon Lyon, Darren Oliver, and Casey Janssen retired the last 10 A's in order to finish the game after Laffy pitched the first 5.2 and gave up 4 runs on 5 hits with three walks. The middle of the lineup of Lawrie, Encarnacion, and Snider went 6 for 11 with a homer, 5 RBIs, and a walk Tom Mehegan
