Not even the rain can slow down the Jays. Pitching on an extra day of rest Burnett was outstanding. He gave up just 1 hit, 1 BB, and 1 HBP over 7 innings and struck out 7. The only run he gave up was unearned. Frankly, the 1 hit he did give up should have been an error. Cabrera hit a hot shot to 3rd that Rolen got a piece of but nothing more. Yes it was hit hard but the fact is Rolen didn’t have to move and had he knocked it down he would have had time to pick it up and throw him out.
Even w/o the Cabrera hit being ruled an error the Jays still made 3 errors in the game. 2 of them by none other than Johnny Mac, both were fielding ground balls. He even made them on consecutive chances. The next one hit to him he started a 6-4-3 DP though to help Downs out of a 1st and 2nd 1-out situation.
B.J. Ryan started the 9th out by walking the first 2 hitters. However, he came back w/a pair of strikeouts and a ground out to close it out. The walks are still piling up on Ryan.
The White Sox had 10 runners reach base despite just 2 hits. They had 2 hits, 4 BB, 1 HBP, and 3 reach on errors. Of course the lack of hits is why they only scored one. That run coming on a SF after Pierzynski’s moved to 3rd on a wild pitch. The Sox went 0 for 10 w/RISP.
Vazquez was matching Burnett zero for zero until he ran into some problems w/2 out in the 6th. Wells got an infield 1B to get it started, then Lind followed w/a 1B before Overbay knocked them both in w/a 2B providing all the offence the Jays would need.
It looked like Snider forgot how many outs there were when he was on 1st w/1 out and Inglett hit a fly ball to left. It took him a long time to realize it was only the 2nd out, but he did recover in time.
Here are the stats:
NAdv: Rolen (11), Uribe, Ramirez
P-NAdv: Burnett (19), Ryan (5), Vazquez
