Ryan came in in a 3-2 game. The Jays tacked on 2 more in the top of the 9th to make it 5-2.

Gibbons made the smart move and didn't wear out his closer's arm with a 3-run lead in the ninth. Smart use of relief pitchers from a manager who still buys into the traditional baseball logic that saves mean something.
