Leafs forward Matt Frattin left the game early in the third period after taking a hit from Anahiem defenseman Francois Beauchemin into the boards. He went head first into the boards and the impact of the hit knocked his helmet loose. Frattin lay on the ice rolling in pain after the hit. The NHL has already stated that they will look into the hit and the possibility of a suspension.

As many of you guys may know, I previously had a Toronto Maple Leafs dynasty running using the game NHL 12. Now that I have gotten NHL 13, I am starting another one. It was a hard choice for which team to use which ultimately came down to between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Pittsburgh Penguins but I decided to use the Leafs since they are my hometown team and are much more challenging to play with. So, without further adieu...

Encarnacion Hit His 5th Homer Of The Season And Led The Blue Jays To Their Second Straight Win

Costly Victory: Blue Jays Lose Morrow En Route To Win

LOS ANGELES -- Things were rolling smoothly for the Toronto Blue Jays all throughout the game as manager John Gibbons watched his starter Brandon Morrow (5-1) strikeout seven batters. Arguably the Blue Jays best starter so far this season, Morrow winced in pain holding his throwing arm after delivering a pitch to Angels center fielder Peter Bourjos. Morrow left the game with the trainers and Darren Oliver (1-0) was brought into the game to finish off the Angels.
After the game, Gibbons told the media that Morrow had told the trainers that he felt a “sharp pain in his right forearm area”. He is expected to undergo a precautionary MRI tomorrow but is expected to make his next start.
Jose Reyes started off the offense for the Blue Jays as he hit a sacrifice fly that was caught by a stellar diving play by Peter Bourjos. Emilio Bonifacio then tagged at third base and scored easily following his triple to lead off the top of the third inning. Edwin Encarnacion helped contribute to the offense with his fifth home run of the season.
The Angels have now been shutout for a total of 23 consecutive innings following back to back shutouts by three combined Blue Jays pitchers. “We have to revert back to the old see ball hit ball method of baseball if we want to win some games. Obviously the injury to Mike [Trout] has hurt the offense, but that’s no excuse to start losing ballgames.” said Angels manager Mike Sioscia.
The Blue Jays have now won their second straight game after losing two straight against the Texas Rangers. They will try to take the four games series tomorrow in game three by sending lefty Mark Buehrle (3-1, 0.91) to the bump against Jason Vargas (2-2, 2.50). Buehrle has pitched very well for the Blue Jays this season going 3-1 with an ERA under one.

Jose Bautista and Henry Blanco Lead The Offense With Homers

Blue Jays Snap Two Game Skid, Down Angels On The Road

LOS ANGELES -- R.A. Dickey finally looked like the pitcher that the Toronto Blue Jays thought that they were acquiring when they traded their top prospects for him. Dickey (1-2) picked up his first win of the season by allowing just two hits in a complete game shutout over the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
On the offensive side of the board, Jose Bautista hit his eighth home run of the season and backup catcher Henry Blanco hit his fourth home run of the season. For Bautista, it was his second home run in as many games after he homered off of Derek Lowe in the Blue Jays’ loss to the Rangers yesterday afternoon.
Jered Weaver (2-2) picked up the loss for the Angels as they continue to struggle with the absence of star outfielder Mike Trout, who is expected to miss most of the season with a fractured shin. Weaver pitched well, giving up only two runs in five and a third innings pitched, including Jose Bautista’s solo home run in the first. Weaver was pulled from the game after giving up a sacrifice fly to Melky Cabrera that allowed the second run of the game to plate for the Jays.
The 38-year old knuckleballer looked good on the mound after having a no-hitter through the first 7 and a third innings of the ball game before Angels outfielder Kole Calhoun hit a double to the right-center field gap. Dickey would then give up a bunt single to Angels centerfielder Peter Bourjos. With runners on the corners and just one out, Dickey proceeded to get two of his seven strikeouts on the next two batters to end the threat.
“R.A. had the best knuckleball that I’ve seen in a long time today. If he keeps doing this he’ll be back in the Cy Young race in no time.” said Blue Jays catcher Josh Thole. Thole was the catcher for the New York Mets when Dickey won the Cy Young award last season in New York.
Following Henry Blanco’s two RBI game, John Gibbons was asked by the press if he has ever considered giving the starting job to Blanco. Gibbons responded say, “I’ll do what I have to do. Right now it seems that Blanco is playing well and has good numbers but you have to keep in mind that he’s only played in four or five games.”
The Blue Jays continue their four game series against the Angels tomorrow night as Brandon Morrow (4-1, 2.02) will take the mound for the Blue Jays against tough lefty C.J. Wilson (2-1, 3.58).
