Kevin Bell had one of the strangest pitching lines: 8IP 10K 11BB 2R 1ER. Bell would get the win moving to 5-2 and having the best season of his career. The Jays started off the game with just 8 guys. They proceeded to play with just 8 till the 4th inning. Eddie Pickett would lead off the game with a single and score later in the inning on a passed ball. The defense will hold off the O's till the bottom of the 3rd. There were a few miscues by the defense and the O's would push across 2 and take a 2-1 lead. The score would stay at 2-1 until the Jays would score a run in the top of the 6th on a strike out swinging that would get away from the catcher. The runner from second would score on a heads up play . In the top of the 8th Pickett would reach base and get moved over by a sac bunt by Bere. This would set up KBell to take the lead with a single and that is what he did. The Jays would hold off the threat in the bottom of
