Adam Lind sweeps away the Rockies
Adam Lind a .340 hitter is one of the quietest .340 as fans were sitting on their hands every time he stepped to the plate but really Jose Bautista is the only batter getting a reaction for the Jays.
Adam Lind finished off the ballgame as Jerry would say with one out in the bottom of the first as stepped up after Bautista reached base on a throwing error by third baseman Nolan Arenado and then Edwin Encarnacion grounded a ball into right field and then finished off Juan Nicasio with a three-run homer and the Jays eased to a 5-2 victory. Adam could of had a monster game and blow up the Rockies real good in the seventh with a run and one on and two out with Edwin stepping up and Rob Scahill on the mound and the Rockies had a meeting on the mound and he then throw a ball directly at him and hit him to the ground which brought Adam back to the plate and with Josh Outman on the mound a rocked a ball to right field and felt like another three-run bomb but Michael Cuddyer made the catch to end the inning.
Mark Buehrle was rocked around in the first two inning and did not break as he gave up 5 hits and one run and left 4 on base and the Jays had a 3-1 after two rolled the third and fourth leaving a runner on each inning and in the fifth inning he allowed a homer to Carlos Gonzalez who now has 21 homers on the season. Buehrle pitched 5 innings and he gave up 2 runs on 8 hits with 2 walks and left 8 batters on the bases and it was not the greatest outing but now is a 4-4 record on the season with a 4.60 ERA but he held it together.
The pitchers that bridge the gap between Buehrle and closer Casey Janssen throw the heat as they k'd 7 of the 10 batters they faced as Wagner k'd 2 and Brett Cecil throw nine pitches and all were strikes and k'd 2 and then Steve Delabar k'd three batters after the first. Casey Janssen came in and blow apart the first two batters and then got tight and gave up a hit and finally got the third out.
Also when Wagner came in for Buehrle was a risk to my health as one foul ball flew over my head on my left and then a ball went second level on my right but the 27 plus were more alive than the last time I saw Buehrle pitch live.
Juan Nicasio for the Rockies gave up 4 runs (2 earn runs) on 4 hits with given up on two errors
