Going into the 8th inning Saturday, 1 on, no outs and a 2-1 orioles ball game. Jose steps up. After taking a ball, the Jays commentary discuss that the pitcher should try a fastball for a change and more on the outside corner. And he did. Not so much outside corner though and pretty much down the middle. Yes. Jose gobbles it up and sends the bullpen catcher running as bautista bombs his 25th homer of the year. Into center left went the dinger and the Blue Jays are now suddenly up 3-2.
In the 9th however, Kevin Gregg, the closer, manages to load the bases with walks. Uh o. Fortunately for the good of Toronto Cito decided to give Camp a go at this closing role. And he finishes the innings unharmed.
So a bit to close for comfort win over the Orioles but a win nonetheless. With an early game today (18th), and Marcum pitching, Jays fans can hopefully get there brooms to the ready.
