- Summary -
After a tough loss last game to the Angels, the Jays bounce back nicely with a big win behind Jonathan Sanchez's 2nd win in as many starts. The 1st inning started off big as Escobar singled and Zobrist homered making it 2-0, shortly after Bautista hit his 1st of 2 home runs which was a solo shot making it 3-0. In the 3rd, after a Adam Jones single Bautista hit his 2nd home run (4th on the season) making it 5-0. In the 5th, after Zobrist singled and stold 2nd, Jones and Bautista both walked and Espinosa jacked a no doubt Grand Slam to opposite field to make the lead 9-0. Sanchez went 7 innings only allowing a HR to Wells in the 6th to make it 9-1, but had to come out after throwing 106 pitches. The bullpen wasnt very good as camp allowed 2 RBI to Kendrick and 1 RBI to Wells. Miller wasnt good either allowing a 2 run shot to Morales.

--- After the game the Jays dealt Shawn Camp, Trevor Miller & 1-2 Star Pitching Prospect to the Athletics for Grant Balfour. Balfour will now solidify the bullpen for the Jays. They also called up RP Ryan Perry from AAA.
