Walk It Off

For the second time this week, and series, the Toronto Blue Jays rallied for a come from behind win against the Baltimore Orioles to complete the three game sweep with a score of 6-5.

Down 5-2 at the bottom of the 8th, Jays cut the lead to 1 going into the 9th against Baltimore closer, George Sherill. Sherill has blown four saves in the past eleven games.

Rod Barajas would start off with a one out single then advance to third thanks to a Scott Rolen double. Gregg Zaun would intentionally be walked before Lyle Overbay's sacrifice fly scored Barajas making it a tie game. Adam Lind then stepped up and delivered with a single which scored Rolen and more importantly, a Jays win.

Even though he had no hits on the day, shortstop David Eckstein was able to contribute with 2 RBIs.

The Jays were able to win even without top contributor, Vernon Wells, who is going to be out 4 to 6 weeks with an injured hamstring. This is Wells second trip to the disabled list this season.

The starting pitchers, John Parrish for Toronto and Jeremy Guthrie each received a no-decision. The winner was Shawn Camp (2-1) and the loser was George Sherill (2-4).

The Blue Jays (45-47) now tie Baltimore (44-46) for 4th in the AL East.

The Blue Jays will play a three game series this weekend against the New York Yankees at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
