What a frustrating way to lose. Ricky Romero pitched well only giving up 1 run over 7 innings. And the normally reliable Jays bullpen gave up 4 runs to lose the game. All I have to say is "Aaargh!"
Bautista failed to reach base for only the 2nd time this season. In his first at bat, I noticed something that has become a bit of a pattern. On inside pitches he seems to exaggerate his reaction like he was surprised it came so close to him. I'm thinking that this is sort of a strategy for him like the way catchers frame pitches to make them look more like strikes.
Tonight's 3 Stars:
1. CC Sabathia - Complete Game, 4 Earned Runs
2. Curtis Granderson - 4 for 5, with a stolen Base, Scored the game winning run
3. Ricky Romero - 7 innings pitched, 1 earned run
Honourable mentions go to John McDonald for his safety squeeze RBI and his excellent double play to get Ricky Romero out of a jam.
