ASB 04: Jays franchise

JAYS START OFF SEASON ON WINNING NOTE. DOUBLE UP YANKEES

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Roy Halladay went 6.1 innings giving up six hits and two runs over that span, but it was not enough for the New York Yankees as the were defeated in both teams season opening games by a score of 6-3.

"We came through with some key hits in that 5th inning and that carried us to the victory" said Jays starter Roy Halladay

Halladay is of course refering to the 5th inning of today's game in which the Jay put up three runs all on a three run home run by Carlos Delgado which at that time gave the Jays a commanding 5-0 lead.

In fact the Jays scored all 6 of their runs over the course of three consecutive innings(3rd, 4th, and 5th) in which Eric Hinske, last years American League Rookie of the Year proved why he got that honour last season with a solo blast in the first inning, this was followed up by a two run jack from Chris Woodward in the 4th inning, and capped off by the aforemention Delgado three run homer in the 5th.

JAYS COME FROM BEHIND AND MAKE IT TWO IN A ROW OVER YANKEES

The Toronto Blue Jays had to come from behind not once, but twice in this afternoons game against the New York Yankees. They were once down 2-0 and came back to tie the game at 2-2, then down again 3/2 and came back to not only tie it at three's but take the lead on a lead off home run from Vernon Wells in the bottom of the eighth inning.

"We came through in the clutch," said Blue Jays manager Carlos Tosca. "We showed the type of grit and determination found in champions and I hope that's what we are come seasons end."

Some who wasn't as pleasent was the opposing pitcher who gave up what would be the eventual winning run. That pitcher is Chris Hammond.

"You're right I'm upset," said Hammond in a post game interview, "I'm upset because I cost my team a chance to win it and I knew he was going to jack it out of the yard as soon as it left my hand."

Blue Jays starter Tanyon Sturtze had a great outing even though he didn't factor into the decision. He went seven and a third inning and struck out five yankee batters over that span.

Kelvim Escobar came in and pitched a one hit ninth inning to pick up his second save in as many games.

Re: ASB 04: Jays franchise

yankees avoid the sweep by winning 10-7, next up for the 2-1 Jays is a trip down to Minnesota to face the Twins.
