The good doctor shuts down the Rangers for 7-2/3. B.J. Ryan has a rare brush with human-ness, but gets it done for the Blue Jay win.
Star of the Game: Himself, the American League’s first 11-game winner and now sporting a 3.02 ERA and a 1.05 WHIP in 122 innings. Strikeouts? He don’t need no stinkin’ strikeouts!
Unsung Heroes: #8 hitter Eric Hinske and #9 hitter Russ Adams each smacked solo homers to help the Jays get away with a paltry 6-hit 1-walk attack.
For the Rangers: The alien possessing the body of Gary Matthews Jr. had a double and a single.
Elsewhere: The Devil Rays hit Curt Schilling for 4 runs over 7 innings and pounded Mike Timlim for 5 in 1/3 to prevail 9 – 6. Cleveland thrashed the Yankees and Shawn Chacon for 19 runs, and this morning the Jays sit tied with New York in second place, 4 games back of Boston.
Today: Casey Janssen goes for the good guys, opposed by Vicente “Not Vincent!” Padilla. The Rangers have never seen Janssen; Toronto has never faced Padilla.
