Carlos Villanueva got lite up by the long ball

So the O's got their homer swings down to perfect science tonight as they hit 7 homers and they scored all their 12 runs on the long ball in a 12-2 route of the Jays with Chris Davis slamming two homers and collected 5 RBIs while Manny Machado also had two homers in the game accounting for 3 RBIs. Jays sent Carlos Villanueva to the mound and gave him a quick 1-0 lead as Edwin Encarnacion hit his 42 homer a solo two out shot in the first and he gave it right back to the O's as Nate McLouth on the sixth pitch he saw to lead off the game tied up the ball game with a homer. Villanueva retired 12 of his next 13 batters given up a walk to J.J. Hardy that was erased on a double play and a double to Adam Jones and collected 6 ks through the first four innings and gave up a run on 2 hits and a walk and was looking good to put together a nice performance for his free agency resaume. He was looking even better when J.P. doubled with one out and Anthony Gose singled him home and moved to second on the throw home in the fifth and it looked like the Jays had something going against O's starter Miguel Gonzalez as Brett Lawrie looked to get all of a ball to left field and Nate McLouth ran the ball down and the Jays took a 2-1 lead to the bottom of the fifth. In the bottom of the fifth just like in the bottom of the first Villanueva gave up the lead and is time it was Jim Thome on the first pitch he saw to start the inning and Villanueva got two quick outs and it looked like he was going keep it together but he left some pitches up in the zone and Manny Machado hit a solo shot and Chris Davis after a two two out hits stepped up and muscled a three-run homer to send Villanueva to the showers and finishing a 5 run inning. Villanueva ended up pitching 4.2 innings and given up 6 runs on 7 hits and a walk and had 7 ks in the game.With one more start against the Twins next week it looks like no matter where he is pitching he will need to build his stamina up even more as he focused on becoming a starter last off season and it worked as he pitched very good his 11 starts before September but he has been rocked by the O's twice 12 runs on 14 hits and 2 walks and five homer in 11.1 innings and then 7 runs on 8 hits and two walks in 2.1 against the Rays has a big downer in his 5 September starts. O's got a two-run homer in the sixth from Mark Reynolds off Joel Carreno which was followed in the seventh by a two-run homer by Chis Davis off Chad Beck and finally in the eighth Manny Machado hit a two-run homer off David Carpenter. While the O's scored 11 straight runs over four innings Miguel Gonzalez retired the last 8 Jays he faced and went 7 innings and gave up two runs on 5 hits with a walk and a k to win his 8 game of the season. Adam Lind collected a three hit night and Adeiny Hechavarria came off the bunch for Escobar and collected a single to stretch his hitter streak to 9 games and has collect a hit in 21 of 24 games Tom Mehegan
