Much better pitching than the last few games. Brandon Morrow pitched the first two innings, gave up 2 hits, struck out one. He was helped out by a bad call at first base, Yankee catcher Chris Stewart hit one into the hole at short and Jose Reyes made a nice play, but the throw was just late. Stewart was still called out, and Stewart was ejected for questioning the sight of the umpire. There was only 2 hard hit balls off Brandon, a double by Juan Rivera (I'm thinking the Jays want him to look good, so the Yankees keep him) and a fly to right, that was hit right at Bautista.
We only allowed 6 hits in total.
Other Jay pitchers:
- J.A. Happ: 1 inning, 1 k. No Yankees injured.
- Sergio Santos: 1.0, 1 hit, 1 k. Very pretty slider.

- Brett Cecil: 2 hits.
- Evan Crawford: 1.0.
- John Stilson: 1.0, 1 hit.
- Chad Beck: 1.0, 1 hit..

Tomorrow the Rays come to Dunedin to play the Jays, and, of course, Sportsnet has the Yankees/Phillies game on across the network. That's 5 straight days of the Yankees on Rogers. Someone should mention to them that they own a baseball team. And it isn't the Yankees.
