The Jays drop the second of the year to those lovable Twinkies 13 to 4. A night to forget all around, as Josh Towers starts well and then gets smacked around, most of the bullpen has a night to forget and the middle infield has a fourth inning to forget. Bat-Girl seemed to enjoy it though.
* Star of the Game: Troy Glaus gets his first homer as a good guy and goes three for four with three rbi
* Unsung Hero: For the Jays, well Cat had a nice night with a couple of hits and he looked quite sprightly in the field, but I was more impressed with Liriano throwing 22 strikes in 27 pitches.
* Defensive Play of the Game: I really don't want to talk about the defense. Hey, what did we all think of Hinske in the outfield ? He didn't have much to do from what I saw, but I only watched about half the game.
* What's on tap today: Chacin vs Silva 7:07
