Romero throws a 1 hitter vs. Baltimore in a 3-0 Win

For the 2nd game in a row pitching has been the key for Toronto. This game Baltimore kept Toronto's bats relatively quiet only allowing 3 runs rather than 13 last game out, but they could only muster 1 hit against Romero. The first run of the game came in the 1st on a Encarnacion Sacrifice Fly and that would be all until the 4th when Colby Rasmus hit his 3rd home run of the season, solo shot and Omar Vizquel hit a RBI single to make it 3-1. Rasmus had a good game defensively robbing Adam Jones of a home run in the 1st. Omar Vizquel made a fantastic diving play in the 4th, but would injure himself and would have to leave the game.

Ricky Romero was the best performer in this game going 5 innings only allowing 1 hit, 0 runs, and struck out 5. Chen also went 5 innings for Baltimore allowing 3 runs on 11 hits and striking out 1. Sergio Santos recorded a perfect 6th to get the save.

Omar Vizquel was placed on the 15 day DL with shoulder stiffness and will be out around 20 days. He wasn't expected to get much playing time anyways, so look for Casilla to backup the infield for the time being. The Jays will not call up anyone from AAA and play with 24 players.

Toronto (6-0) will face Seattle (3-3) now in Toronto at Rogers Center, where James McDonald (1-0) will face off against Jason Vargas (0-1) for the Mariners. This is their 1st meeting of the season and Toronto will look to continue their exceptional play
