g12 | Jason bounces back, bullpen implodes

Mariners 3 | Blue Jays 8

Due to the afternoon first pitch, I was unable to watch or even listen to the game.  Good thing.  I'd have nearly wept for Jason.  Looking at the box score, seems he left the Cleveland game long behind and put in a fabulous performance (105P - 6.2IP - 5H - 1ER - 1BB - 7K).  After striking out his 7th batter for the second out in the 7th inning, Wedge took him out in favor or Wright who fanned the only guy he faced.  The curious part was that Wedge didn't continue with Wright, but instead opted to go with Ray - and that's where the  bullpen's 17 inning scoreless streak came to an end.  Ray promptly gave up two singles and a home run and then, after a couple of doubles, and a couple more runs, Ray was out and Lueke was in.  Josh wasn't on either and gave up a run before being relieved by Wilhelmson who allowed another.

Poor Jason.


Nice catch, Milton!
