-Summary-
Wow what a series finale for these 2 teams. The game started with the Jays scoring 3 runs. Rasmus singled, then Bautista drove a no doubt HR for a 2 run shot. Epinosa was then up 2 batters later and drove a solo shot for his second to make it 3-0. Next inning with runners on 2nd/3rd, Raja Davis grounded out, which scored Lawrie to make it 4-0. Sanchez was good going 6 Innings but made a mistake to Morneau in the 3rd when he belted a solo shot, 4-1. Lind blased a solo shot to the 2nd deck in the 6th to give the Jays a 5-1 lead. Sanchez gave up a single in the 6th and was replaced by Camp because of pitch counts. Camp allowed RBI Singles to Valencia, Young, and Hughes to make it 5-4. With Marshall in for the 8th, he struckout the 1st 2 batters he faced but allowed a solo HR to Revere to tie the game 5-5. In the bottom of the 10th, Zobrist got his 1st hit with his new team as a pinch hitter for Raja Davis. Next batter was Rasmus and with the hit and run on, Zobrist broke for 2nd and Rasmus drove a double to deep center which scored Zobrist for the winning run. Wow what a game. The Blue Jays sweep the Twins and have the Yankees next series.
