Toronto: Saved by the Bat

The Toronto Blue Jays had an unscheduled night off on Thursday as the Red Sox chose to protest. The Blue Jays were 4.5 games back, so the question was, would the extra day of rest hurt or help Toronto?

Friday would see the Blue Jays hit three home runs. Grichuk hit his 9th, Hernandez hit his 12th, and Vlad Jr would hit his 5th. Unfortunately, the team would only have eight hits and only two base on balls.

Ryu would have a strong outing pitching six full and striking out seven. He would give up eight hits and two base in balls with two runs. However, he was still in line for the win as the Jays started the seventh up bye one.

Romano would allow the Orioles to tie things up in the top of the eight. And Dollis would give up the lead run in the tenth. However, Toronto's bats would not allow the bullpen to blow it, as they kept the season alive by scoring two runs to end the game.
