Jays humiliated by Rangers

Jays took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second as Yunel Escobar singled and Moses Sierra walked so it was first and second no outs and Mike McCoy had a ground out to score Yunel with one out. This when the Rangers bats came alive as they picked runs in the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth inning and when the Jays finally looked up at the board it was 9-2 Rangers on their way to a 11-2 romp. It started with two in the third as they picked up four hits in a row with both Geovany Soto and Mitch Moreland both picked up RBI singles and in the fourth David Murphy drove home Micheal Young with a RBI double and Jays starter Henderson Alvarez was playing with fire early and got mild burns being able to k two in a row to come the third and get Mitch Moreland to end the fourth only down 3-1. Henderson Alvarez with bobbing like a Ricky Romero Bobble head in the fifth because everything thing came crashing down on his as the Rangers batted around just like the Jays did so well when healthy and by the time the inning was over Henderson Alvarez was nowhere to be seen as they put up 5 runs to make it 8-1. Henderson after getting the first out of the inning by getting Ian Kinsler to pop up he allowed the next 6 batters to reach base with the crushing blow being former Jays farm hand Micheal Young with his fourth homer of the season a three run shot that capped the inning and Josh Hamilton had a RBI double and Nelson Cruz had a RBI single. Henderson went 4.1 gave up 8 runs on 12 hits and 3 walks to go with 3 ks and then Brad Lincoln had a rough sixth inning after finishing the fifth for Alvarez as he gave up a two-run ground-rule double to Micheal Young to make 10-2 as Mike McCoy hit his first homer of the season in the fifth which was the second and last hit for the Jays in the game. In the ninth Chad Jenkins gave up a solo shot to David Murphy and the Rangers got great hitting performances from Micheal Young who had 3 hits and drove in 5 while Elvis Andrus had four hits and David Murphy had two RBIs in the game and three hits and so did Geovany Soto as pounded the Jays into the turf with a 19 hit attack. They cruised to the victory behind starting pitcher Matt Harrison who went 8 innings and retired the last 11 Jays he faced as the Jays had all of their last 14 hitters not reach base and he gave up two runs on two hits with a walk and 7 ks. Jose Bautista is in the minors and will probably be back but the power maybe missing for a while Tom Mehegan
