Edwin Encarnacion tries to power Royals sweep
Edwin Encarnacion tried to help the Jays to sweep away the Royals and came up just short after hitting a RBI ground out in the first and smoking a solo homer in the sixth he came up in a 2-2 ballgame in the eighth with Melky Cabrera on first he crushed a ball into the left field corner and it had the legs but it went foul. With two on for J.P. Arencia he struck out to end the inning and it went to the bottom of the ninth inning it was still 2-2 and with one out Chris Getz off Darren Oliver hit a laser to right field to Rajai Davis and the ball kicked off his glove on a bounce and went to the wall and Getz ended up with a double and on the next day Alex Gordon singled him home to win the game 3-2.
Rajai Davis did had a great catch grabbing a ball just before it hit the ground to rob Billy Butler to lead off the eighth inning and had a hit and was apart of a great pitcher's duel between Brandon Morrow and Ervin Santana.
Brandon Morrow went 6 innings and gave up two runs on 6 hits with 3 ks and a walk and throw 2 strikes to ever a ball he throw and he got into a little trouble in the third inning as Jarrod Dyson tripled to Rajai Davis and got almost out of it when he got Chris Getz foul out and Alex Gordon hit it back to the mound and he was able to keep the run from scoring but then Alcides Escobar hit a sac fly to tie up the game. In the sixth he gave an one out single to Salvador Perez and then two out singles to both Eric Hosmer and Lorenzo Cain who got the RBI to tie up the game at 2.
Ervin Santana went 8 innings and gave up 7 hits and 3 walks and his problem was Edwin who was just at the plate to make things happen for the Jays and if he had not hit a ball to far left we most likely talking about a Jays sweep of the Royals. Melky Cabrera was the only Jays hitter that had 2 hits of the Jays 7 hits in the game while Alex Gordon and Lorenzo Cain both had two of the Royals 10 hits.
So in the daily Jose Reyes story line it looks like Brett Lawrie will be trying to play second base and if it works Bautista will stay at third.
Mark Buehrle will face his former team the White Soxs tomorrow night
