Lilly grabs his career high thirteenth win
Good for Ted, who's morphed into a very effective pitcher in September. He left after seven last night and handed a four run lead over to the safer keeping of League and Accardo. League was particularly impressive needing just six pitches to account for Dobbs, Ichiro! and Beltre, I was a little surprised Gibby didn't run him out for the 9th, but Accardo didn't appear against Anaheim and probably needed some work.
Star of the Game: Vernon had a couple of hits and a couple batted in to lead the Jays' offence again.
Unsung Hero: Adam Lind. One of the season's bright spots had a nice night with a couple of hits including an RBI blooper.
Boxscore
HLH Returns: Doc is feeling good and believes he'll be able to make his start on Friday against the Devil Rays. He'll be playing catch today to see how his arm feels after the treatment he's been getting. "The biggest key was getting out right away and starting treatment,".
Elsewhere in the East: Just one other game as the Yankees and O's hooked up. The Yankees followed the usual strategy to beat Baltimore, wait out the starter and feast on the bullpen. Rodrigo Lopez was pretty good for the second consecutive start, but he needed 94 pitches for his six Innings of work. In the seventh Perlozzo turned a three run lead over to Hoey, and the Yankees batted around for six runs. Randy Johnson picked up the win for New York, despite giving up five runs in his six Innings, and an assortment of Yankee relievers were able to hold the Orioles to one run over the last three frames. Old friend Chris Gomez started at first base and was three for four.
Fix the Schedule: Shi Davidi looks at the un-balanced schedule and finds a few people in the games, including Gibby, not suprisingly, who want it changed. Phil Garner gets it right: "It's boring for the players and fans and I think it affects attendance." I could do with a break from the same old faces in the East, we see way too much of them. There's no way I can see MLB making a change that will mean less Yankees-red Sox games though, it's their margquee match-up in terms of Press coverage.
Today: Marcum against Meche at 10:05.
