Walks Are Rangers Poison: Blue Jays 16 Rangers 10

This is one of the few nights when I don’t envy Evan Grant or T.R. Sullivan.

The ERA’s took a hit as all the runs were earned. Native Canadian Rich Harden surrendered seven runs, eight runs were charged to the ledger of Doug Mathis and one to Dustin Nippert.

Very simply, Harden walked five in the first inning. That directly led to three runs and erased the three runs the Rangers got in the top of the inning. It would only get worse.

After leading 9-3, an eight run bottom of the third hurt really bad. I lost count of how many batters came to the plate.

The Blue Jays hit five home runs for the game. Max Ramirez homered for the Rangers.

All we can do is look forward to tomorrow at noon.
