That's exactly how the Blue Jays need to approach each game down the stretch. 9 runs but just one homer and 4 doubles. 4 walks (all in the 1st) forcing them to pitch to them instead of around them the rest of the game. Work the pitch count of the starter and get into the bullpen, especially in the first game of the series. Sacrifice flies and sacrifice bunts. Good/great defense. Starting pitching that gives you a quality start (very good in Price's case). Bullpen that comes in and shuts it down, only having to work a couple innings.
Tulo looks like he's starting to get out of his slump, and it looks like Revere is fully out of his slump. Bautista needs to get it going though. His average is now only percentage points ahead of guys like Pennington and Goins. I know he's an RBI guy, but he hasn't been hitting all that well of late in any capacity.
