- Summary -
This wasnt a good outing from Liriano who followed up his excellent last outing with a terrible 6 ER performance. Kendrick started the scoring in the 1st inning when his single scored a run. In the 4th, after a throwing error left Zobrist on 2nd base, Espinosa singled, and Thome drove in both runners for a 2-1 lead. Liriano let the ball drop next inning allowing a 3 run double to Vernon Wells, and a 2 run HR to Morales. In the 7th, Bautista singled in a run to cut the lead to 6-3. Next inning however, Aybar singled to score a run to make the lead 7-3 Angels. In the 9th the Jays made a small push when Bautista nailed his 2nd home run to center which scored 2. It was too late however as they Jays fall for the 2nd straight game.

- There has been news also that the Jays are looking at offers for CF Rasmus who has been terrible to start the season.
