Tough matchup for the Jays - get the heart of the Braves' rotation.

5-2 Braves
4-2 BJS
5-4 BJS

Jays continue on winning 2 of 3, and keep climbing up the standings.

Looking forward to seeing Hutch pitch again. I agree, gonna be a really tough series for the Jays...hopefully the sticks are on as runs will be hard to come by.

I'm just really glad we get to see the lineup back to normal with EE and Davis in there tonight and not left handed starting pitching coming against us.

I thought Drabek had a decent at bat for his 1st career at bat. Even though he struckout, he did take a couple good cuts.

Yeah, he looked better than what I was expecting. Took some nice swings and I like that he didn't chase that one breaking ball too.

Jose either has a bad rep or will get one very soon for arguing so many calls. It's becoming a daily occurance it seems like.

1-0 after 3 innings. Felt bad for Drabek there, he was barely missing with a lot of close pitches, he probably deserved a call or two.

Was really neat listening to Smoltz that inning. Great speaker with some interesting stories. Wish he'd stick around for another inning, but he's going to be in demand tonight.

Jays now lead 2-1. Gotta give Drabek credit for hanging in there tonight.

Darn, 2-2.

I love baseball with no DH, I wish the whole league was like that.

Why can't you argue a balk? Seems like a strange rule.

Wow, they got out of a huge jam there. That could have been the game if they managed to get a base hit. Still down by one, 2 more innings to go.

I don't think I will ever fully understand what is and what isn't a balk.

That will do it...........Escobar bounces one off of home plate to 3rd to bring in EE. Nice.
