Thank you Josh Towers. After being hammered in the first three games of the series the Blue Jays came back strong last night to beat the Yankees 5-4. Josh Towers who's been great as a 4th/5th starter for us this year threw 7 innings of 5 hit ball giving up only 2ER's in the process. Jason Frasor made things a little interesting in the 9th but he finally did slam the door on the victory. Congratulations to Gabe Gross who went 2-4 and hit his first Major League HR last night. It really could be a plus for the Jays if they're able to get Gross, Alex Rios and David Bush established this year.

The boys now head to Cleveland to battle the tribe. I mentioned this before but the Indians can rake. Check out how this offense ranks in ALL of baseball: Average-2nd, Hits-2nd, Runs-1st, OBP-1st, SLG-9th, BB-6th. Talk about getting it done with the stick. On the other hand though, their pitching has been horrendous. They rank at the bottom of the league in just about ever category. If this team develops a couple of pitchers over the next 1-2 year and makes a nice move in the free agent market they could be back to the powerhouse we all remember. Mark Shapiro has done a really nice job with this club.
