- Summary -
The Jays win a close game 3 to win the series vs. the Angels. The Jays elected to give Karstens the start despite being a few days off his last start and he wasnt sharp only going 4 innings. He should be well rested for the next game. With a man on 3rd, Bautista delivered a SacFly to score the 1st run, and Espinosa trippled to make it 2-0 to start. Wells and Abreau both doubled home runs to tie it 2-2 in the 1st. Next inning after Lawrie singled, Betemit walked, and Arencieba smacked his 1st home run, a 3 run shot to make the lead 5-2. Karstens gave up 2 more RBI singles to Izturis, and Conger in the 4th to end his night, leaving with the Jays up 5-4. Arencieba deliverd a RBI double in the 6th to make it 6-4, and with the bases loaded in the 6th for the Angels Litsch was pulled for Ryan Perry with 2 outs and fresh out of AAA perry recorded the last out which was a turning point for the jays. Marshall allowed hunter to drive in a run with an RBI double to make it 6-5, but in the 8th Escobar delivered with an RBI single which proved to be the winning run. Kendrick got a solo HR off Balfour but no one could touch Feliz who struck out all 3 he faced for his 3rd save.
