Bald Man's Jays - April 13, 2012

Toronto 6, Baltimore 3

Finally the Jays got some decent pitching even though Morrow only lasted 5 innings against the Orioles. The bullpen allowed 5 hits over 4 innings with 2 runs and 2 walks. Not a great performance but much better than the first time through the rotation.

Luis Perez continues to struggle with control in his outings. If not for a double play, Thames to Arencibia, his line would look a lot worse. Morrow struggled with his control, walking 4 in 5 innings as well.

The bats seem to come alive today as Lind went yard in the 1st inning for this 4th of the season. Escobar followed with a solo shot and Thames followed with a two-run dinger in the 6th. Even though the Jays registered only one walk, they were more patient at the plate than they have been all season. Several hitters went deep into the count, knocking Arrieta out after 5 innings.

The Jays are now 3-4 on this young season with Henderson Alvarez set to start the middle game of the three game series vs. Baltimore. Alvarez hopes to bounce back from his first start of the season, a short outing loss against the Red Sox.

In transaction news, the Jays sent Joel Carreno down to Triple-A Las Vegas and recalled left-hander Aaron Laffey to add another south paw to the bullpen. The Jays will go with a 4-man rotation until April 21st, when they will decide who the 5th starter will be.
