- Summary -
Wow, what a close game as the Jays lose game 1 in dramatic fashion with the game lasting 14 innings. The Jays put up a good fight with Thome and Zobrist gettin days off for rest. In the 3rd after Cedeno singled and stold 2nd, Escobar singled him home for a 1-0 lead. The Yankees didnt get on the board until the 5th when Posada hit a solo HR off of Garcia. Next inning after Garcia allowed a single, he was pulled for Janssen who allowed a 2 Run HR to Granderson to make it 3-1 Yankees. In the 7th, after Davis singled and stold 2nd, Bautista doubled him home, 3-2 Yanks. In the top 9th, with Rivera in to close, Jones singled home a runner, then Sanchez drove in his 1st RBI as a Jay to make it 4-3 Jays. Feliz was in for the save and picked a terrible time to allow his 1st Run of the season as Posada doubled home another run, 4-4. There wasnt any action until the 12th when Arencieba had the bases loaded and stuck out (giving him 5 on the night). In the 14th with Marshall in, Gardner doubled, and Teixeira drove him in for the walk off win, 5-4 Yankees. The Jays will look to get some innings out of Cecil next game, and glad to get Zobrist, Thome back in the lineup as they are desperate for a win.
