Superb Starters
Shaun Marcum failed to last seven innings tonight. Toronto starters had gone six straight games completing at least seven. Marcum goes 6 2/3 before walking two batters, but Accardo gets out of the inning. That makes Shaun's final line no runs, two hits, three walks and nine strikeouts. Over the last six games, including tonight, the Jays starters have a 1.02 ERA as they've allowed five earned runs in 44 1/3 innings. I thought this team had a chance to be one of the best rotation in the AL, and with this stretch they're looking to earn that spot.
The Jays lead 2-0 in the eighth. Given the poor scoring of the offense, they pitchers are going to need to keep performing if they are going to win.

At least Rolen is back and Lind is in the majors. The lineup they're putting out now is the best they can do without making a trade.
Now they're 2-0 in May.
