Blue Jays 2, Twins 1: Joseph Batstista Again

scorin on you for just a sec 

Jose Bautista ripped one into the flower pots in left (I believe they contain pansies) to put the Blue Jays out in front for good in the sixth! Man that dude hits a lot of dingers at Target Field, like ten in ten games. Drew Hutchinson's start was odd in that one run in six innings will obviously totally do the trick, but the only run he allowed came from a bases-loaded walk. Weird, right? No less weird: Adam Lind getting a base hit, with a runner in scoring position, even (see above photo). Not even Francisco Cordero being pretty terrible again could keep the Blue Jays (or me) down on this night! They got some great bounces, too: a grounder off of Lawrie's glove that went right to Escobar, who threw to first for the out; a shot off Casey Janssen's glove that went to Escobar, too; and, best of all, a pop up that Lawrie bobbled in foul territory that landed right in Eric Thames' mitt! How about that!
