The Jays came out strong winning the first 2 games vs, Seattle and Arizona, but losing to Weaver and the Angels 1-0, and a very tough loss of a blown save to Baltimore 7-4.

Game 14: Blue Jays 6, Mariners 0:
W: Jimenez (4-0) - 5IP 1H, 0ER, 3K
L: Iwakuma (1-2) - 5IP 10H, 4ER, 3K, 3BB
Blue Jays:
Jackson - 1/3 R, K
Kendrick - 1/3 RBI, R, 2B, K
Bautista - 2/3 R, 2B
Howard - 0/2 R, BB
Lawrie - 1/2 HR(3), 3RBI, 2R, SB, BB
Freese - 2/3 2RBI
Thames - 2/3 2-2B

- The Jays get the first game of the series vs. the Seattle team that eliminated them from the playoffs last season. They got a good start from Jimenez who pitched a 1 hit shutout, the game after Chacin's perfect game. The Jays started off the offense in inning 1 after a Lawrie 3-Run HR made it 3-0. The 3rd inning saw David Freese drive in a 2-RBI single to make it 5-0. In the 4th, Kendrick drove in his 1st RBI of the year with a single to finish it 6-0 Jays.

Game 15: Blue Jays 2, Diamondbacks 0:
W: Alvarez (3-0) - 3IP 5H, 0ER, K (SV: Santos, H: Cordero)
L: Enright (1-2) - 5IP 5H, 2ER, K
Blue Jays:
Bautista - 1/2 R
Howard - 2/2 HR(3), 2RBI, R, 2B

- The Jays take another victory on NL soil behind a 4 hit shutout by Alvarez. In the first, Ryan Howard's RBI double scored Bautista to make it 1-0. Later in the 4th, Howard would launch a solo HR to make it 2-0 and thats all they would need.

Game 16: Blue Jays 0, Angels 1:
W: Weaver (2-2) - 5IP 3H, 0ER, 2K
L: Romero (2-1) - 3IP 5H, 1ER, 4K
Angels:
Trout - 1/1 RBI, SF

- The Jays take the loss here and only managed 3 hits off Jared Weaver. The only run of the game came off Trouts RBI Sacrifice Fly in the 4th, and thats all LA would need to get the W.

Game 17: Blue Jays 4, Orioles 7:
W: Matusz (1-2) - 4IP 6H, 4ER, BB, K (SV: Johnson)
L: Santos (0-1) - 0.2IP 5H, 5ER, 1K
Blue Jays:
Freese - 2/2 HR(2), RBI, R
Lawrie - 1/2 R, 2B
Brown - 1/2 R
Arencieba - 1/1 HR(4), 3RBI, R, BB
Beachy - 3.1IP 2H, 1ER, K
Orioles:
Hardy - 1/3 RBI, R
Reynolds - 2/3 RBI, 2R, 2B, K
Jones - 1/3 RBI, R
Mahoney - 3/3 HR, 4RBI, R

- Wow, what a terrible loss and terrible luck for Beachy still looking for his 1st victory of the year. The Jays looked to have it wrapped up in the 5th with a 4-1 lead and Santos on the mound to close it out. The Jays started off the scoring in the 3rd with an Arencieba 3-Run HR to make it 3-0. In the 4th, rookie Mahoney hit a RBI single to make it 3-1. Freese in the same inning hit a solo HR to make it 4-1. With Santos in to close in the top of 5, he got hit around allowing RBI singles to Reynolds, Hardy, and Jones before getting yanked. Howell's first pitch to Mahoney was a 3-Run HR to make the game 7-4. Toronto couldn't bring it even in the bottom of 5, leaving the fans to go home disappointed with the outcome, and the 2 game loosing streak.
