Bald Man's Jays - April 8th, 2012

Joel Carreno pitched well in his first Major League start Sunday, but Ubaldo Jimenez pitched better. Jimenez struck out 7 in 6 innings while allowing only 4 hits and a run. Jimenez located his curve ball well and kept the Jays hitters off balance all day with the bender.

Carreno didn't miss many bats and finally ran into trouble in the 6th inning, allowing the first two hitters to reach base.

Shin Soo Choo blew the game open in the bottom of the 8th with a 3-run blast off Blue Jay reliever Jason Frasor. The Jays fall to 1-2 on the season.
