This game was a pitchers match right off the bat. The Jays didnt get their 1st hit until the 5th when Thome smacked an inside pitch deep to tie the game. Half an inning before in the Twins half Plouffe delivered a RBI single to score Mauer after he stold 2nd. The Thome homer tied the game. Next batter, Ianetta gets the Jays 2nd hit of the night which is also a solo home run to opposite field to give the Jays a 2-1 lead. Liriano struck out 8 and was solid in the Win, as was Blackburn despite the loss (both batter gave up 4 hits). Neftali Feliz came in to close it off in the 9th and recorded his 1st save for his new club with help from his 102 fastball.
