Nice win for the Jays. That moves us to 6-2 plus a tie, on the spring.

The batters:

• Yunel Escobar: 1 for 3, walk..200.
• Kelly Johnson: 0 for 3. .231. Also made an error.
• Jose Bautista: 2 for 3, 2 home runs, 3 RBI. .417.

• J.P. Arencibia: 0 for 3. .077.
• Travis Snider: 1 for 2, home run, walk. .294. Also made a nice catch in the field, if Jerry and Alan can be trusted. A nice day for him.
• Jeff Mathis: 1 for 4. .250.

Pitdhers:

• Dustin McGowan: 2 innings, 1 hit, 1 k. 4 ground outs.
• Aaron Laffey: 3 innings, 3 hits, 3 k, 6 ground outs. He had a really good day. I wonder if he will get a shot at the lefty, long relieve/occasional starter spot.
• Francisco Cordero: 1 inning, 1 hit, 1 walk, 1 k.
• Casey Janssen: 1 inning. there were a couple of good plays behind him, one by Omar Vizquel and one by Jake Marsinick.
• Carlos Villanueva: 1 inning, 1 run, unearned.
• Chad Beck: 1 inning 2 hits, 1 earned, 1 k.

Two home runs from Baustista, another homer from Snider, a good couple of innings from McGowan. Can we start the season now?
