The Blue Jays looked very flat tonight. After losing 3 of 4 in BOS killing what little hope they had left of making the playoffs they came back to Toronto and just looked lifeless. They were up to their usual tricks against a LH starter picking up just 4 hits off Waters as he went the distance for his 1st career CG and shutout. The Jays had just 1 runner reach 2nd as Snider hit a 2B. He was stranded there as the Jays grounded out in their only 2 AB’s w/a RISP.
Bad news for the Jays as Marcum left in the 3rd w/an injury. He certainly wasn’t looking good to that point as he had walked 3 already and given up 2 hits and 1 run. He had thrown 52 pitches (28 strikes, 24 balls). Marcum also walked the 9 hitter, Juan Castro, after getting ahead 0-2 by throwing 4 straight balls. Castro would end up scoring the 1st run of the game. Depending on serious it is I wouldn’t be surprised to see Marcum shut down for the rest of the season.
The Jays bullpen did their job very nicely having to eat up a lot of innings. Parrish went 3 giving up 1 run. That would prove to be the only run the bullpen would give up. Wolfe making his 1st appearance since his recall threw 2 scoreless innings. Tallet followed w/1 and Frasor and Carlson combined to get through the 9th. The one problem was the high # of walks. The bullpen walked 5 batters, bringing the Jays total to 8 for the game.
The Orioles went 0 for 8 w/RISP, but apparently they didn’t need it. They also hit into 3 DP’s, including 1 w/the bases loaded and 1 out.
Let’s see the stats:
NAdv: Mora
P-NAdv: Parrish (3)
WG: Frasor (1)
