STARTERS: Gallardo vs Estrada
Rangers: They had a very good first inning both pitching and hitting putting 3 runners on driving home 1 run on a Moreland's RBI single, Rangers offense has been shutdown since that until the 7th inning where they scored 3 runs on a DeShields single to RF where Bautista missed the easy take and let the ball pass him and thanks to that even the batter cam home, they came so close to score again in the 8th inning when they left they bases loaded with Choo at the plate.
Blue Jays: Estrada didn't find the right command in the first inning but he reacted well coming out by a bad situation with just 1 run allowed, the first good sign bu the entire offense has been saw in the 6th inning when they forced Mike Maddux to call Kela a RHP from the bullpen to relief Gallardo, the young reliever made a remarkable job striking out Encarnacion and Navarro with 2 nasty curveballs to end a potential dangerous inning with runners at 2nd and 3rd. On the following inning with Diekman on the mound and the bottom part of the lineup at the plate they came close another time to score loading the bases, with Tulo at the plate only 1 out Maddux made another great call out of the bullpen with Dyson who let the Jays' SS ground out hitting a sinker producing an inning ending double play. The Jays finally get on board due to an error by Deshield on Encarnacion single that let Bautista reach easly home plate.
The Rangers won doing few things but good something that the jays failed to do made painful double plays and not having a single clutch hit all game long something that let them lose a game that they should win but honor to the Rangers who learnt to win even "bad" games fighting hard even on the mound.
MVP: Dyson because he brought them out of trouble when the game was so close and he also provided good 1.2 inning against a very good lineup
