Blue Jays edge Rangers in 11 innings
Baseball Betting Lines
04/22/2009 -
Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kevin Millar doubled home the winning run in
the bottom of the 11th after Toronto blew a three-run lead in the ninth, as
the Blue Jays got past Texas, 8-7, in the middle contest of three-game set
from the Rogers Centre.
Rod Barajas slugged a pair of two-run homers and Alex Rios had four hits with
two RBI for Toronto, which has wins in three of its last four. Jose Bautista
also collected four hits and scored twice while Millar scored twice and
banged out three hits in the win.
B.J. Ryan was tasked with holding the lead in the ninth, but started by
hitting Chris Davis with a pitch and walking Jarrod Saltalamacchia.
Ian Kinsler plated the first run with a fielder's choice grounder to second,
that looked to be a sure double-play ball, but Aaron Hill's throw from second
was wide of the bag and Kinsler took second on the throw. Kinsler then stole
third to set up pinch-hitter Josh Hamilton's RBI ground out.
Michael Young then took Ryan deep to left-center, tying the game at seven.
Young also doubled twice, knocked in two and scored twice for Texas, which
handed Toronto ace Roy Halladay his first loss of the season on Tuesday in the
series opener. Saltalamacchia also ended with two RBI in defeat.
After Millar ended the bottom of the ninth with a double-play ball, Jason
Frasor (3-0) was called upon to hold off the Rangers, and he did with two
perfect frames of work.
Vernon Wells worked a walk off C.J. Wilson (0-2) to start the home 11th and
moved up on Travis Snider's sacrifice bunt. Scott Rolen was issued an
intentional free pass and Darren O'Day, acquired off waivers from the Mets
earlier in the day, was summoned from the pen. Millar worked the count to 2-2
before taking a slider into the gap in left-center to end the game.
David Purcey limited the Rangers to three runs on seven hits and two walks
over 5 1/3 frames while striking out six, but was denied his first victory of
the 2009 season thanks to Ryan's antics in the ninth.
Matt Harrison was touched for five runs on nine hits and two walks over four
innings in his start for Texas.
The Blue Jays jumped on top 2-0 in the second inning. Millar lined a two-out
single into center and Harrison left a 1-1 changeup up in the zone as Barajas
took it out to left field for the early lead.
Texas tied it just as quickly, though, as Nelson Cruz led off the third with a
single and advanced to third on Davis' double to the left-field gap.
Saltalamacchia roped a two-run single to left to even the score.
Barajas' second two-run shot of the game highlighted a three-run fourth as the
Jays took a 5-2 lead. Millar doubled to left with one down and Barajas
launched a slider deep to left. Bautista followed with a base-hit, moved to
third on Hill's two-out single and crossed home on an RBI single by Rios.
Omar Vizquel singled and scored on a Young double in the fifth, cutting the
Rangers' deficit to 5-3, but the Jays tacked on two more in the sixth off
Scott Feldman on RBI singles by Rios and Adam Lind.
Texas got a run off Scott Downs in the eighth as Young doubled to right
leading off, advanced to third on an Andruw Jones single and scored on a
fielder's choice grounder from Marlon Byrd.
