Happ throws complete game allowing only 2 hits in win vs. Royals

Toronto improves to 5-0 in a 9-0 victory vs. Kansas City. J.A Happ was the story of this game only allowing 2 hits in a complete game shutout. The 1st 2 innings were the story again for the Jays as they put up 7 out of 9 runs in those innings. Surprisingly enough, there were no home runs and all runs were by singles and doubles. RBI Singles came from Bautista, Encarnacion, and Sandoval. Ben Zobrist and Justin Morneau were the offensive players of the game, both going 4/4 in the win. Zobrist was 4/4 with 2 RBI, 3 Runs and a double. Morneau was 4/4 with 4 RBI, and 2 doubles.

Happ picked up the win going 6 innings, 2 hits, 0 ER and 0 strikeouts. He had the ball on the ground the entire game and looked fantastic. Bruce Chen was Kansas City's starter and went 1.2 innings allowing 10 hits and 7 runs. Coleman allowed the other 2 runs on 6 hits in 4 innings of relief.

The Blue Jays (5-0) will face the Orioles (4-1) in Baltimore. Wei-Yin Chen (1-0) will take the mound for the home team while Ricky Romero (1-0) will pitch for Toronto. Baltimore's only loss came to Toronto in a 13-0 beat down. Baltimore will look to come back hard in game 2. Colby Rasmus is back in the lineup and in CF after his rest day. Omar Vizquel will start at SS, giving Yunel Escobar a day off
