Jays Finish Strong Month of April in 1st Place
May 1st, 2013.
The Toronto Blue Jays capped off another very strong month that saw them go 22-5 and currently sit in 1st Place in the American League East division. The Jays are 8 Games up on the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and 11.5 up on the Baltimore Orioles. The American League East division seems to be particularly weak as the Red Sox, Yankees and Devil Rays all seem to be in rebuilding mode. The Red Sox finished 2nd last in the entire American League last season and will have the second overall pick in this years First Year Player Draft. In a division that has traditionally played very tough it looks like the Jays may stand a very good chance of being the top team in the east for the 6th consecutive season.
Blue Jays Notable Performances:
SP Christian Jacobs - 5-0 1.10 ERA
SP Andy Simmons - 6-0 2.52 ERA
SP Bill Arkell - 3-0 3.03 ERA
RF Alonso Martinez - .339 2 HR 7 RBI
SS Richard Evans - .333 5 HR 21 RBI
CF Rick Bjork - .317 5 HR 20 RBI
LF Felipe Montero - .306 4 HR 29 RBI
*If anyone can tell me how to post complete stats where they are not all squished together I would really like to post them, but every time I try they all get squished together into one big unreadable mess. Thanks*
