Once again the Toronto Blue Jays lost to the Milwaukee Brewers. On Thursday afternoon it was a 8-7 game that set the Blue Jays back. The Blue Jays were swept in the three game series as they were outplayed every game. I will give the team some credit as they did score six runs in the top of the ninth inning but a loss is a loss in the end.
A.J. Burnett fell to 6-7 on the season after only pitching five innings and giving up eight hits and eight runs. Burnett had a problem as he gave up four walks and two home runs in the game. He really should have known to keep the ball down against the hot hitting Brewers.
Brian Tallet and B.J. Ryan were able to hold the Brewers at eight runs as they pitched the final three innings without letting the Brewers score. Good job by those two relievers. To bad Burnett but the team in such a big hole to begin with.
Alex Rios had a rbi single in the eighth inning that scored Lyle Overbay for the Blue Jays first run of the game. And then in the ninth inning it was Overbay going deep for a two run home run before Joe Inglett hit a grand slam to score four more runs. The Blue Jays were still down one run however and ended up losing by that one run.
