Quick Recap: Jays Lose

Twins 8 Blue Jays 2

Not all that much good to say about that one. Francisco Liriano pitched a good 4.2, with 10 strikeouts. Justin Smoak and Ryan McBroom each homered. And that was about it for good news.

Under the bad news column, Ezequiel Carrera and Darwin Barney collided and Ezequiel had to be taken out of the game. A quad muscle contusion is what the Jays are saying is his injury. Hopefully not out for long.

Pitchers:

• Francisco Liriano: 4.2 innings, 4 hits, 2 earned, 1 walk, 10 strikeouts, 1 home run. Another good outing.
• Leonel Campos: 0.1, 1 hit, 1 walk.
• J.P. Howell: 1.0, 1 hit, 1 earned, 1 walk, 2 strikeouts, 1 home run. I’d like to see a good inning out of him soon.
• Tim Mayze: 1.0, 3 hits, 2 earned, 1 k.
• Aaron Loup: 2 hits, 3 runs, 2 earned, 2 walks without getting an out. He took a line drive in the gut today too. A bad outing, right after Gibby talked him up.
• Ryan Tepera: 1.0, 1 walk, 2 k.
• Danny Barnes: 1.0, 1 k.
