Munenori Kawasaki first ever major league homer leads Jays to 9 straight

Munenori Kawasaki who is trying to out last either Mark DeRosa or Maicer Izturis as the 25 man on the Jays major league roster when the Jays leadoff hitter Jose Reyes makes his way up from Buffalo in his 117 major league game in his 247 at bat hit his first ever homer a two-run bomb with two outs in the seventh inning to tie the game @ 6. Kawasaki homer saved R.A. Dickey bacon as he rockin' and rolling through the O's as he gave up a J.J. Hardy solo blast on two hits and a hit batter and on a two-run blast in first and a Kawasaki RBI single in the fifth and the Jays took a 3-1 lead after five. In the sixth he let up and gave up a 4 spot as he gave up a Adam Jones RBI single with two on and Chris came up and launched three-run blast which was his 27th homer and the O's took a 5-3 lead and then Edwin launched a solo shot in the sixth and in the seventh Dickey gave it back by given up lead-off homer by Ryan Flaherty and walked Danny Valencia and then he was pulled for Brett Cecil who faced five batters and retired all of them and picked off Danny Valencia @ first to get it to the ninth and now retired 41 straight batters. Rajai Davis replaced Melky Cabrera in the Seventh and came up with a single in the seventh and in the ninth he came back up with two on and drove home Maicer Izturis to send the Jays into cloud 9 and when his feet hit the ground he was missing his Jersey and fixing his under shirt. Jays keep rollin' and it is a very happy place right now and when Jose Reyes comes back on Monday he will be more ready then Brett Lewrie was when he came earlier as he has been playing almost a week in the system not only getting 7 at bats but that decision on 25th guy will be interesting as they may choose to ease Reyes back and take him out late or maybe they decide to have a guy like Kawasaki in the clubhouse and let go of either Izturis or Derosa more likely the latter as he is the one sitting on the bench. They could also have R.A. throw a knuckleball in everybody's face and take an arm out of that pen. Things are a happenin' @ (Ted) Rogers Centre and if the last guy is the talk everything is A O K Tom Mehegan
