Not exactly a great start from Halladay, but then again if you take away Scott’s production (2 HR’s for 3 RBI’s) it would look pretty good. Not often you see Doc to hit 2 batters in a game, but this is the 2nd straight start he has done so and has now hit 5 in the last 3 games. Even worse he hit them on 0-2 and 1-2 counts.
Nice to see the Jays comeback in the 6th and bail out Doc giving him enough support to win. The Jays managed to score 5 runs despite going 1 for 5 w/RISP. They scored one run on the lone hit, then Wilkerson stole home as part of a double steal. That is the 2nd time they have successfully completed a steal of home as part of a double steal this season. They then added a solo HR, an RBI 2B and a SF to complete the scoring.
Always good to get Ryan back out there and grab the save after a couple rough outings. Hopefully that was just the blip on the radar that all closers go through at some point in the season. That is the true test of a closer being able to rebound from a rough outing or two and I think it is always best to get them back out there ASAP.
What was Trembley thinking using Quiroz as a PH in the 9th when they are down by one. I realize he is probably a better option than the LH Bynum but don’t they have a better RH bat left on the bench. I’d almost rather have Bynum stay in there and with his speed just try to bunt for a hit.
On to the stats:
Adv: Wilkerson (1)
P-Adv: Albers
NAdv: Markakis
P-NAdv: Halladay (5)
WG: Millar, Barajas (3)
ME(f): Bynum
