What a whacky ninth inning that seen the Seattle Mariners score the winning run while B.J. Ryan and manager John Gibbons were ejected. The crazy inning ended a dissapointing three games series for the Blue Jays as they lost two out of three games against the Mariners.
In the ninth inning with the score 1-1, Ryan gave up a rbi single to Raul Ibanez that score Ichiro for the Mariners winning run. Ryan was upset because the inning should have been over on a called third strike but umpire Andy Fletcher called the pitch a ball. It was a toughbreak for Ryan and Blue Jays who went on to lose 2-1.
Blue Jays starting pitcher Shaun Marcum pitched well enough to get a win but didn’t get any run support Marcum went seven innings while giving up seven hits and only one run. Marcum had to settle with a no decision.
The one Blue Jays run came in the fourth inning when Matt Stairs grounded out to second and Joe Inglett scored. The Blue Jays Blog would enjoy blogging about a good offense, but right now the batters just aren’t swinging the bats very good as you can see by only putting up one run on the scoreboard.
The Blue Jays will have an off day on Thursday and then will get back at things on Friday in an interleague matchup with the Chicago Cubs.
