- Summary -
Wow, what a series Finale. The Jays take the Rays in a very close match to win the series, and jump ahead of the Rays for 2nd in the division. Jamie Garcia pitched a great match minus the first inning in his debut going 7 innings with 11 strikeouts. The Rays got off to a quick start as Longoria hit a 2 run HR to deep left for the 2-0 lead. Next inning after Arencieba doubled, Allen Craig drove him in with an RBI single. Both pitchers were great from then on until the bottom of the 7th when Davis singled, and stold his 3rd base of the game. Escobar sacraficed him to 3rd, then Zobrist popped out to Catcher. Bautista stepped up and drove a 2 Run HR to opposite field to give the Jays the 3-2 lead. Balfour pitched a clean 8th inning, and Feliz struck out 2 to get his 6th save of the season. He has been clutch for the Jays, he has not allowed a run yet in 6 appearances.
