- Summary -
Game 4 was much like game 3, Karstens gets roughed up and is told hes probably going to be dealt. Litsch came in and pitched a wonderful 6.2 innings not allowing a run. Bautista singled in a run in the 1st, but next inning Crawford 3 run HR , and Gonzalez 2 run HR made it 5-1. Next Inning Saltalamacchia singled in a run, and in the 9th Ianetta doubled in a run. The Jays will look to bounce back next series vs. the Yankees. Adam Jones will miss the next 7 games with a pinched nerve in his back.

* The Blue Jays have dealt SP Jeff Karstens, and 1-3 star Prospect to the Cardinals for SP Jamie Garcia, and OF Allen Craig. Garcia will take over in the rotation, and Craig will play OF until Jones is back in 7 days then will report to the minors.
