Right before the game, the Blue Jays announced Troy Tulowitzki and Paul Molitor have been demoted to AAA. Fred McGriff, and Kelly Gruber, who combined for 15 AAA home runs have joined the team and will be available to play tonight.

Joining the big club!

The Jays have gone on a bit of a losing streak entering the game, and have lost the first two games of the series to the Orioles. Baltimore now sits in first place in the AL east. Each team today has Roberto Alomar starting at 2^nd base. The Baltimore Alomar his having the better season.

The first inning in our game of the weeks continues to hurt pitchers. After getting a out, Price allows back to back doubles to Roberto Alomar and George Sisler as the Orioles jump out in front. Sisler would score and the Orioles have an early advantage.

The Jays start well, with a lead off Alomar single, but he’s left stranded by Mike Mussina. Price gets 2 easy outs and comes undone in the 2^nd. Single, wild pitch, single, wild pitch, single. 4-0 Baltimore. Toronto gets the leadoff hitter on again in the 2^nd, and would load the bases, but they get nothing, as Mussina gets out of it. Looking like another one sided game.

2 Price wild pitches come back to bite

It’s the 4^th inning before the Jays get on the board. Jose Bautista hits a solo shot cutting the lead to 4-1. Price leaves the game after 4 innings, allowing 11 hits. Poor performance from him. Aaron Sanchez comes in, having allowed 0 runs through 11.2 innings.

Sanchez cruises through 2 innings before getting into trouble in the seventh. Alomar and Sisler occupy first and third without an out, and a chance to blow the game open. Frank Robinson lines out, and in comes BJ Ryan to take on Jim Gentile. George Sisler tries to steal 2^nd and is gunned out by Russell Martin. Another wild pitch allows Alomar to score, and the Orioles do get one. 5-1 lead.

Jays can't get Sisler out

Mussina leaves after a excellent performance, allowing 1 run and 5 hits. Greg Olson comes in to mop it up. Tony Fernandez scores on a Russell Martin single, and Olson loads the bases with walks. 2 out, down by 3, George Bell steps up to the plate with a chance to steal the lead. Bell hits the 3-2 pitch into shallow right, and Frank Robinson makes a routine catch. Opportunity wasted.

Mussina out duels Price

The Jays closer, Tom Henke comes into the game in a non save situation. Seems like a weird spot for him. He gives up a few hits and a run. 6-2 Baltimore going into the ninth. Baltimore goes to their own BJ Ryan to finish it. A Manny Machado error, opens the door.

The Jays load the bases with that error, a single and a walk. With one out, Jose Bautista, already with a homer, comes to bat. He hits a grounder to short, the Orioles get one, but can’t close the game. Now down 6-3, with 2 out, the Jays look to Lloyd Moseby, the potential tying run. Zach Britton is in the game for Baltimore. Moseby hits the 2-2 pitch. A weak grounder. Baltimore makes the easy play, and the Orioles win the game 6-3!

Chance to win it, but comes up empty.
