The Toronto Blue Jays scored three additional runs and defeated the Baltimore Orioles 5-1.  They played the game early this morning and then will play the originally scheduled game shortly after the first one is over.  It was nice to see the Jays come out and score runs right away and put the game out of reach.

Marco Scutaro, Lyle Overbay, and John McDonald all had one rbi each in the game.  The other two runs that the Jays scored were unearned.

A.J. Burnett was awarded the win after he threw five innings on Wednesday night.  Burnett is now 11-9 with a 4.73 era.  Jesse Carlson, Shawn Camp, and Scott Downs all pitched in relief for the Jays and all did a good job.

We will be back with an update after the afternoon game is over.  Go Jays!

The Toronto Blue Jays scored eight runs in the 5th and 6th innings to defeat the Baltimore Orioles by the score of 10-8 on Tuesday night.  It was a great vicotry for the Jays as they evened up the four game series at one game each.

Alex Rios and Adam Lind both hit home runs in the game.  Rios hit a solo shit while Lind had the big home run which was a three run shot.  John McDonald led the team with four rbi as he had a bases loaded clearing double and then a sac fly in the game.  Matt Stairs, Rod Barajas, and Rios all finished the game with one rbi each.

Shaun Marcum only lasted 4 2/3 innings as he gave up eight hits and seven runs before being pulled out of the game.  Marcum gave up three home runs in the game and he was lucky to come away with a no decision in the game.  The bullpen did a great job after Marcum was taken out of the game as they held the O’s to seven runs while the offense came to the rescue for the most part.

Jesse Carlson, Shawn Camp, Scott Downs, and B.J. Ryan all threw out of the bullpen for the Jays.  Carlson, Camp, and Downs didn’t allow a run but Ryan gave up one run in the 9th inning.  Ryan was able to settle down and record his 19th save however.

The Toronto Blue Jays were down 5-4 heading into the bottom of the ninth inning but they scored two runs to come back and defeat the Baltimore Orioles by the score of 6-5.  The two run comeback completed a three game sweep of the Orioles and improved the Blue Jays record to 45-47.

Lyle Overbay tied the game in the ninth inning with a rbi sac fly and then Adam Lind hit the game winning run with a rbi single.  Little guy David Eckstein led the team with two rbi while Joe Inglett, Alex Rios, Overbay, and Lind all contributed with one rbi each.  Great job by the offense for coming through when they needed to!

Shawn Camp who pitched the top of the ninth inning notched the win in the game and is now 2-1 on the season.  Blue Jays starting pitcher John Parrish lasted seven innings as he gave up six hits and three runs.  It was a good quality start out of Parrish as he got the no decision.  The two relief pitchers after Parrish left the were not good however.  Brian Tallet gave up one run and then Brandon League gave up another run.  The offense really bailed out Tallet and League.

The Blue Jays will now wait for the Yankees to get into town and they will start a three game series on Friday.

Jesse Litsch pitched 5 1/3 innings while giving up ten hits and four runs while taking the loss.  Litsch dropped to 7-2 on the year.  Just a bad game that was bound to happen sometime for him as he had been on a good run as of late.

Shawn Camp gave up one more run in relief before Scott Downs and Armando Benitez finished up the game for the Blue Jays on the mound.

The one run for the Blue Jays came in the sixth inning when Scott Rolen doubled and scored Alex Rios.  It was just a bad hitting night for the Jays.  Hopefully they will bounce back tomorrow against the Yankees and score more than one run.
