Pitchers:

Aaron Sanchez didn’t seem to be very sharp, but he went 3 innings, allowing 4 hits, 1 earned, 1 walk with 5 strikeouts, facing most of the Orioles regulars. He had a wild pitch over Pentecost that Homer Bush said ‘he’s having release point issues’.

• Taylor Guerrieri: 2 innings, 1 walk, 3 strikeouts.
• Ryan Tepera: 1 inning, 1 hit. He was hit hard, long fly outs, plus a double off the wall, but he got through the inning.
• Aaron Loup: 1 inning, 1 hit, 1 k.
• Sean Reid-Foley: 1.2 innings, 3 hits, 2 earned, homer, 1 walk, 1 k. He’s had a rough spring so far. He had a 10.80 ERA. He couldn’t get out of the 9th.
• Luis Santos: Got a ground out to end the game.

Homer Bush joined Ben Wagner and Mike Wilner on the broadcast. He had some interesting incites, but I didn’t think he was very good in the analyst role.

Jays are now 6-8. The worries about that lack of offense have gone away over the past couple of days.

Tomorrow the Orioles come to Dunedin.
