Kelly Johnson hits a homer and tied the Jay strikeout record

The Jays took game two of three from the Twins and behind a great performance from Chad Jenkins 4-3 who pitched on three days rest as he replaced Carlos Villanueva who was shut down and missed his last start of the season and maybe as a Blue Jay as he is a free agent in the off-season. Chad Jenkins pitched into the sixth inning and had shutout the Twins on three hits and was up 4-0 and then in the sixth inning Jenkins gave up a pitch to Denard Span who smacked a two-run homer to cut the lead in half and he left the game with no outs in the sixth so he pitched five plus innings and he gave up two runs on 5 hits and a walk but did k two Twins. Arron Loup came in and settled down the game as he gave up a single to Ben Revere and picked him off at second and then quickly retired the side in order and Revere got picked off by Darren Oliver in a 4-3 Jays lead. Casey Janssen came into close the game and only gave up a single to Matt Carson on his way to quickly finish off the Twins for his 22nd save of the season and helped Chad Jenkins win his first game as a starter. Kelly Johnson did something very good as he hit a two-run homer in the fourth and then in the second he did something nobody wants to do and that is getting k'd and it was 159 time being k'd this season matching Jose Canseco for the most times being k'd in Jays history. Rajai Davis singled in the first run of the game in the third and Yunel Escobar singled in a run in the fifth inning. Anthony Swarzak pitched five innings for the Twins and gave up 4 runs on 5 hits and three walks and then the Jays were only got a single hit off the Twins bullpen. Brandon Morrow will be trying to get his 10th win of the season and will be going against a Diamond from Guelph Tom Mehegan
