Yankees 5 Blue Jays 7

Another day, another win. A nice game for a lot of Jays, a bit of sloppy defense there at the end but we survived.

The pitchers:

• Henderson Alvarez: 3 innings, 4 hits, 1 earned, 0 walks, 3 k, 4 ground outs, 1 fly out. A pretty good showing, considering he was pitching against what looks, pretty much, to be the Yankees' everyday line up.
• Carlos Villanueva: 2 innings, 1 hit, 1 k.
• Jason Frasor: 1 inning, 1 hit, 1 walk. It sounded like the hit was a ball that should have been caught.
• Joel Carreno: 2 innings, 4 hits, 4 runs, 3 earned, 1 walk, 3 k. Could have been helped without an error by Chris Woodward.
• Jim Hoey: 1 inning, 2 hits, 2 k. Jerry said he hit 97 on the radar gun.

Batters:

• Yunel Escobar: 0 for 2, walk. .190.
• Omar Vizquel: 0 for 2, k. .385.
• Kelly Johnson: 1 for 3, 2 k, steal. .250.
• Jose Bautista: 0 for 2, walk. .353.
• Adam Lind: 0 for 2, walk. .333.
• Edwin Encarnacion: 3 for 3, 2 home runs, 4 RBI. .333. Didn't to anything wrong in the field but then didn't get many chances to. The home runs were long ones, like most of his tend to be.
• Brett Lawrie: 2 for 3, double, triple, steal. .591.
• Colby Rasmus: 1 for 3, RBI, k. .211.
• J.P. Arencibia: 1 for 3, 2 RBI, k. home run .158.
• Jeff Mathis: 0 for 3, 2 k. .143.

Woodward and A.J. Jimenez each had an error.

So Edwin takes the lead in the battle for LF.

That makes the Jays 10-2 on the spring. Yeah, it doesn't mean much, but winning is always better than losing. Especially when it is over the Yankees. Tomorrow the Jays have a road game against the Astros, it is on MLB Audio again.
