After a very strong start, the Jays bullpen has blown fantastic outings by their starters to lose 3 straight games, dropping to .500 for the first time since opening week.
A.J. Burnett, inconsistent so far this year, had a peak start, going 7 innings while only giving up 3 hits.
But the bullpen, specifically Marcum and Zambrano, lost the lead and the game to Baltimore.
As I write this, the second game of the series is underway, with Baltimore leading Josh Towers and the Jays 2-0 in the 3rd. I am aware that it is only April, but it is the beginning of the year where confidence and habit are created, and, after a hot opening to the season, have begun to falter. Going into Fenway next week means Toronto needs to turn it around now in Baltimore.
Alex Rios just scored. Maybe this will turn it around.
Report on tonight's game later.
WP: Ray (2-1)
LP: Zambrano (0-1)
Toronto (8-8) Baltimore (9-7)
