I just finished the most exhilerating game of my Jays franchise so far. A 9 inning battle with the Rays. Drabek vs Price. Score tied 0-0 until the bottom of the 5th when Rasmus takes Price deep to left center, then bottom of the 6th Pena takes Price deep to left. Rays answer with a Luke Scott hr in the top of the 8th, and i score two more in the bottom of the 8th off a Zimmerman HR. Im up 3 going into the ninth and Cordero and Santos implode giving up 3 runs in the bottom of the ninth to tie it up, and i lead off the ninth with a groundout, Encarnacion hits a liner to right that the fielder dives at and misses, and Rasmus steps up and delivers his second HR of the game to right center for the walkoff.

Price: 7IP, 6H, 3ER, 8K
Drabek: 7.2IP, 4H, 1ER, 5K
Rasmus: 2-4, 2HR, 3RBI

I take the series 2 out of 3 and head into the series at KC with my record 6-6, lower my team era to 3.26, lower my avg to .249
