Game 78 – Bats Welcome Cito Home

So the bats didn’t waste any time getting going in Cito’s return to Toronto. They score 6 in the 1st and 5 in the 2nd sending 11 and 10 men to the plate. Along the way they hit 3 HR’s and for the game compiled an 11 for 23 w/RISP.

Leading the charge were Scutaro w/4 hits (all 1B’s) and Rios w/4 hits (3 1B’s, 1 HR). Overbay also chipped in 3 hits (2 1B’s and a 2B) and a BB. Rolen led the way w/4 RBI’s courtesy of a 3-run HR and RBI 2B.

A good start from Burnett although it did not look good walking 2 following the leadoff single by Phillips in the 2nd after the Jays just put a 6 up on the board. However, Burnett pitched out of it only giving up 1 run and from there he cruised the rest of the way only letting 1 other guy reach 3rd base.
