Jays taught a lesson in one run games

So once again the O's picked up one run victory over the Jays 2-1 with a RBI base hit down the left field line by Nick Markakis in the bottom of the ninth which was setup by Chris Davis being hit by Arron Loup's first pitch to lead off the inning. With two outs he intentionally walked Nolan Reimold to bring up Alexi Casilla and Loup got the inning ending ground ball to Munenori Kawasaki but he bounced the ball to first and the throwing error loaded the bases and Markakis was the first extra batter an on a 0-2 pitch he gave up the line drive to end the game. The Jays and the O's got into a very tight pitchers duel as the Jays got a four hit performance over 6 plus innings from J.A. Happ and got 6 ks over the first three innings and ended up with those 6 ks and two walks and kept the Jays in the game against O's starter Chris Tillman who gave up four hits over 6.2 innings and walked 3 and k'd 3 Jays. The O's got on the board first as they got a run in the sixth inning as they put together two singles two open from Manny Machado and Adam Jones that both hit the ball off the glove of Brett Lawrie and to make it worse J.A. Happ throw a wild pitch that went off the glove of J.P. Arencibia and moved the up 90 feet and took away the chance of the double play. This was costly as Matt Wieters grounded a double play ball to Munenori Kawasaki and he was able to hold the runners and get the first out of the inning and in the end Chris Davis got a sac fly to make it 1-0. The Jays evened the score in the top of the seventh with Edwin Encarnacion on first and two ks after Adam Lind got retired for the fist time in 10 at bats they got back-to-back singles from J. P. Arencibia and then a RBI single from Colby Rasmus but then Emilio Bonifacio got k'd to end the inning by Tillman. The bullpens were solid with Loup given up the only hit by either pen and it was the game winner and hid biggest mistake was hitting Chris Davis to open the ninth and it hurt as the Jays fell just short and left Steve Delabar's 2 innings of no hit ball with 3 ks and a walk very lonely. Darren O'Day went 1.1 innings and only walked 2 and 2 ks and their closer came in and went 1-2-3 through the Jays and picked up the victory. Adam Lind is getting hot and hopefully more are ready to get hot as the pitching is hitting their stride Tom Mehegan
