Jays roll to 11 straight as Johnson pick up first as Jay
Josh Johnson has finally picked up his first victory as a Jay as the Jays rolled the O's 13-5 as Edwin Encarnacion put together a three-hit afternoon including a two-run homer and a two-run double respectively in the second and third inning as the had it cruisin' mood after three innings up 9-0.
So Johnson look comfortable through 5 as he gave up only 3 hits and no runs and with the Jays up big he gave up back-to-back doubles to Manny Machado and Nick Markakis respectively and Markakis scored on a fielding error by Emilio Bonifacio on a ball hit by Chris Davis. He came back out in the seventh and faced two batters and second one was Ryan Flaherty who hit his first of two homers in the game a two-run shot that had Josh Johnson leaving given up 4 runs on 7 hits with 5 ks and a walk that will hopefully a jump off point for him.
In seventh the Jays put together three straight hits to open the inning started by Colby Rasmus who hit solo shot to make it 10-4 and then J.P. collected his third hit in the game and reached base four times in the game as he opened the scoring by being hit by a pitch with bases juiced in the first. He was moved to third by a double by hot hitting Maicer Izturis who had two hits in the game but with no outs they stood their ground as Bonifacio and Kawasaki both grounded out and that is when things got interesting as the pitcher that gave up Rajai Davis game winning hit on Friday Pedro Strop came in to face Rajai and on a 1-2 pitch got him square in the back to load the bases and Rajai throw his hands up to the Jays dugout in like what gives. Then Jose Bautista unloaded the bases with a three run double and make it 13-4 which was almost matched by massive two-run shot by Edwin who just hit it foul.
Ryan Flaherty hit a no doughtier off Dustin McGowan who came into pitch the ninth and is one of the guys leaving to make room for Reyes tomorrow but Kawasaki even though he was the only Jay to not reach base also does not look like the guy being taken of this team either.
The Jays have gotten 45 thousand or more in 8 games this season and have swept a home stand of 6 or more for the first time in 5 years and have tied the longest winning streak in franchise at 11 that has been done twice before.
REYES and the Jays head to St. Pete's to face the Tampa Bay Rays which is not the happiest play in the world for the Jays
