Game 95 - Blue Jays vs. Rays
By Jessica | July 18, 2008
They’re back!
Aki had a great first at bat. He worked, saw a lot of pitches and ended up with a base hit. I’d love to see that from him every time.
The first couple of innings the Rays were really working Burnett, even getting a couple on base but they couldn’t capitalize on it.
Navi had a nice double in the 2nd, and advanced to third when Rios caught Hinske’s fly ball. Rios seemed to think there were only two outs. Whips!
Shields made a mistake in the 3rd and Lidge made him pay. 1-0 Blue Jays.
Crawford started off the 3rd with a base hit. Then promptly got picked off first. Even he was pissed off about it. Strangely that made me feel better.
Navi got Rios stealing second. Gotcha.
Bottom of the 7th. Hinske walked, then Benny laced one to right! Huh, Barty can’t do that. 1-2 Rays. The shot of the bench was great. The guys were pumped.
Both Shields and Burnett brought their A-games tonight. Each of them made one mistake, Burnett just happened to walk a guy before his mess up.
Aki had a helluva bunt in the 7th, but got thrown out stealing second.
You know what’s magnificent? The majority of the beards are gone. That’s what that losing streak was good for. Howell is rockin the line beard though. Not a fan.
What does Benny do after hitting the go ahead home run? Commits a throwing error. Ugh. Benny, Barty doesn’t do that. Howell and Balfour baled him out with a runner on third. The bullpen is so amazing.
Is Balfour a Red Sox fan? What’s with the array of necklaces? Don’t care, he ruled the ninth and the Rays won!! Toronto 1 - Tampa 2.
It was a pitchers duel. The Rays 3-4-5 hitters blew chunks, but the team still found a way to win.
Let’s hope they can crack the pitching again tomorrow and Garza can hold his own. Go Rays!!
