Same old, same old.
The Jays didn't quite get a stellar start from Marcum this time, the force of nature that is Vlad got to him for a couple of dingers early on. Trailing by three after the third though marcum settled in and began mowing down Angels, he retired 12 in a row, and with some help from Tallet that was it for the Angels offense. The story as it seems to be every night this year was whether the Jays hitters could knock anyone in. They looked pretty fiesty in the fifth and sixth knocking in a run in each to cut the lead to one, that was as close as they were going to get though. The double play came back to haunt them in the 7th and 8th as runners were left stranded in scoring position and then it was K-Rod in the ninth. Particularly soul destroying last night was Rios' failure to take second on a passed ball in the 7th, if he does Stairs doesn't ground into a DP, Hill might just have scored on the grounder and...oh never mind.
