The bad starts for Litsch continue. This time it is the Orioles hitting him to a tune of 6 runs on 7 hits and 2 walks in 4.2 IP. Litsch started well retiring the first 6 in order, but then gave up 3 in the 3rd and 3 more in the 5th.
Brandon League had another solid outing in relief going 2.1 IP giving up just 1 hit, though he did walk 2. He retired 5 outs via the ground compared to just 1 in the air, a good sign he is regaining his command and getting downward movement.
The Jays had plenty of chances to score against Liz as he allowed 11 runners in 5.2 IP (6 of them BB’s). On top of the walks Liz issued, he also threw 15 first pitch balls to the 27 hitters he faced, so he was pitching from behind most of the night. The Jays had the bases loaded w/1 out in the 5th and scored just 1 run while they also loaded the bases in the 6th, this time w/2 out and scored nothing. The Jays ended up 2 for 9 w/RISP.
When the Jays put Inglett in RF, he may very well have the worst arm of any RF in baseball. His throw on the Scott 1B in the 5th that scored Huff from 2nd was pathetic. If I were the opposition I would be taking the extra base (1st to 3rd, 2nd to home, etc.) on at least 95% of the balls hit to Inglett.
That was a pretty risky move by Overbay trying to get into 3rd on the Barajas 1B in the 2nd w/nobody out. One of the cardinal sins in baseball is to make the 1st or 3rd out at 3B and he came awfully close to doing so.
