Caught some of the game last night, and I saw the Jays play very well against the Texas Rangers. In the top of the 5th inning, Toronto hit 3 home runs to support starting pitcher Kyle Drabek and secure the victory. First, new member Corey Patterson smashed a 3-run bomb to make the score 3-0 in favour of the Jays. Then, on the VERY NEXT at-bat, star Jose Bautista hit a solo shot and earned his 8th homer of the year. Finally, struggling DH Juan Rivera slammed a key 2-run shot to make it 6-0. Those runs stood up as the Jays won 6-4 to take the first game of the series. It wasn't easy though, as Texas would claw back into the game. It started with Yorvit Torrealba hitting a solo home run in the bottom of the 5th inning to make it 6-1 Jays. Texas would also get RBI's (runs batted in) from Michael Young and Ian Kinsler in the game, but Toronto won in the end. The winning pitcher was Kyle Drabek for the Jays and the loser was starter Corey Lewis for the Rangers. This started the Jays 10-game road trip on a very good note. Here's the recap.
Don't forget, the NHL playoffs are on tonight. The 6th game of the bizarre series between the Montreal Canadiens and the Boston Bruins goes tonight at 7 PM on CBC. Vancouver meanwhile will try to defeat Chicago in game 7 of their series at 10 PM. That is also on CBC. That's all I have right now. Be back later.
