Brandon Morrow lays an egg against his former team

M's beat up on Brandon Morrow to the tune of 4 runs on 11 hits in 4.2 and just did not get into a grove as he put the Jays behind the eight ball as he gave up a hit to the first three batters he faced and it was the star of the day for the M's Kyle Seager with a 3 for 5 night and coming up a triple short of a cycle getting the M's on the board with a RBI single and they never looked back winning 4-3. If it was not for either horrible base running by John Jaso or the arm of Rajai Davis or most likely a little bit of both as Jaso got thrown out at the plate by Davis with one out after a run had already scored to make it 2-0 after half an inning. The Jays got a run as they put 3 singles together capped off by Yunel Escobar RBI single in the bottom of the first but Morrow gave it back in the third as Jason Jaso brought in Kyle Seager double and then gets thrown out at third on a single by Jesus Montero. Then in the bottom of the third Colby Rasmus with singles by Anthony Gose and Brett Lawrie on with no outs got a RBI sac fly but with Lawrie on second with one out Edwin and Adam were not able to get him in as Edwin popped up to the catcher and Adam fly out to end the inning and Kyle Seager in the top of the fifth got a solo homer of Morrow and it was 4-2. M's starter Erasmo Ramirez after a Yunel Escobar double to open the fourth set down the Jays in order the next time around retiring nine straight and did not give up another hit and retired 12 of 13 starting Colby Rasmus sac fly in the third. He gave up a walk in the seventh with already Kelly Johnson on second on a two base error by center fielder Franklin Gutierre but Brett Lawrie flied out to Franklin Gutierre to end the inning. Erasmo Ramirez went 7 and k'd 6 along the way to given up two runs on 6 hits with a walk and really was solid for them tonight. The Jays bullpen of Brett Cecil, Brad Lincoln, and Jason Frasor went 4.1 and did not give up a run on 3 hits but the Jays against the M's bullpen were only able to get a a ground-rule double to Colby Rasmus who had two of the Jays eight hits and manged to score on RBI ground out by pinch hitter Moses Sierra in the eighth. The Jays did get a break in the ninth with two outs Rajai Davis was called safe at first when the game should of been over as he was out and stole second but Anthony Gose was robbed by shortstop Brendan Ryan on a ground ball that should of tied the game at 4 and he throw out Gose at first to end the game. It was Morrow's worst game of the season and the Jays have their win streak snapped at four Tom Mehegan
