Encarnacion after his game tying solo home run in the 2nd

Toronto beats Tampa 10-1 and that now marks the 3rd game out of 4 that they have put up 10 or more runs. The game started with a Joyce RBI single to put Tampa ahead 1-0. Edwin Encarnacion put the Jays on the board with a solo home run, his 1st of the season to tie it at 1's. Next inning was a slug fest as the Jays chased Moore out of the game when Zobrist hit a RBI single with the bases loaded, and then Bautista hit a bases clearing 3 RBI double to open the flood gates. RBI singles by Encarnacion, Rasmus, a RBI double by Morneau and a 2 run home run by Maldonado (1st of the year) would close the scoring and that would be all she wrote.

Carlos Villanueva was OK in the victory going 4 innings allowing 4 hits, 1 ER and 2 walks white striking out 5. Brad Lincoln came in and pitched the final 2 innings of shutout ball. Matt Moore was dealing until that 3rd inning. His final line was 2 innings pitched, 8 hits, 8 ER, while Peralta allowed the final 2 runs in 3 innings. Edwin Encarnacion was named player of the game going 2/3, HR, 2RBI, 2R. Jose Bautista now has a RBI in each game this season bringing his total to 11 in the 1st 4 games.

The next game for Toronto will be in Kansas City vs. the Royals as they will continue to keep their impressive season going. Bruce Chen will pitch for Kansas and he will be facing lefty J.A Happ for Toronto. It looks like Colby Rasmus will get a day off vs. Kansas. Alexi Casilla will make his 1st start vs. the lefty batting 9th and playing 2nd. Bautista will move to LF, Zobrist to RF and Revere to CF.
