Brandon Morrow has two out problems while the bats are dead
Brandon Morrow pitched only 3.2 innings as he gave up 5 runs on 9 hits and the Jays were trailing 5-1 when he left the game and the Jays fell hard falling to the Tigers 7-3 with Miguel Cabrera went 4 for 5 with a dagger of a three-run homer while Torii Hunter went 3 for 5 and hit his 2,000Th in the sixth inning with a single. Morrow was hurt by trying to get that ultimate third out of an inning where the Tigers went 6 of 8 with two walks and four RBIs after getting two quick outs. In the first he gave up a two out single to Miguel Cabrera and a Prince Fielder RBI double and in the fourth inning with two quick outs he gave up back-to-back two out singles to Austin Jackson and Torii Hunter and then Miguel Cabrera on Morrow's last pitch got smashed for a three-run homer.
J.P. Arencibia smoked a ball over the left field fence but Don Kelly brought it back into the ballpark and it would of tied the game 1-1 to open the second inning and instead it was an extremely long and loud first out of the second inning.
Jose Reyes went 2 for 4 and is hitting .444 on the season and J.P. is the next highest batting average @ .296 with no other everyday player is over Meiky Cabrera's .250 batting average after his 3 for 4 day and both Reyes and Cabrera had a RBI in the game. On the bad side of the Jays batting right now is Colby Rasmus has only 4 hits on the season and in the ninth inning his fourth hit of the season was a solo homer and now he has three homers and a double on the season while Adam Lind has only a single hit in 16 at bats coming into his pinch hit double and now is hitting a lofty .118 in 17 at-bats this season.
So the Jays are having trouble if your name is not Jose Reyes getting anything more than a homer as J.P. has 3 homers and almost 4 in his 8 almost 9 hits on the season but I guess there is good news with Jose Bautista back in the lineup after missing the Boston series even though he has 2 homers in his 3 hits on the season as he is hitting .188.
Jays need to find away to get runners on base and play a little bit of small ball as homers are exciting to watch but it is not the way u want to score all your runs
