Casey Janssen and BJ Ryan pitched in this game but Tim Collins got the win as the Jays won in the bottom of the ninth. Janssen gave up a double to the first hitter of the game and he scored with a couple of ground outs. Janssen pitched five innings and just allowed the one run on four hits. while it looks like a successful start for Janssen the Jays want him to build up his stamina and he needs to pitch six and seven innings before the Jays will look to call him up.
Cody Crowell pitched the sixth and gave up two runs. BJ Ryan pitched a 3-up, 3-down seventh although he didn't get a strikeout.
The Jays evened the score in the bottom of the first on a "Mastroianni run", he walked, stole second and third and scored on a Moises Sierra single.
