Blue Jays seek fourth straight victory in opener with Indians
Baseball Betting Lines
07/30/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Toronto Blue Jays take aim at their fourth straight win
this evening when they open a three-game series against the Cleveland Indians
at Rogers Centre.
Toronto started its six-game homestand in impressive fashion, as it completed
a sweep of the woeful Baltimore Orioles, culminating with a 5-0 win on
Wednesday.
Brad Mills threw seven shutout innings for his first career win and gave up
just two hits and three walks with four strikeouts, as Toronto moved to 12-0
against Baltimore on the season.
"When you're in a tight game like that it's easy to focus and concentrate on
the pitches I'm trying to make," said Mills. "It was nice to come out here and
get the win."
Lyle Overbay smacked a three-run home run while Adam Lind went 3-for-3 with an
RBI for the Blue Jays, who have homered in their last 10 games and have won
five of their last six.
Heading to the hill for the Jays tonight will be righty Shaun Marcum, who has
won his last two starts. Marcum beat the Detroit Tigers on Saturday, holding
them to two runs and eight hits in 5 2/3 innings to run his record to 9-4 to
go along with a 3.36 earned run average.
Marcum's last loss came to the Indians back on July 1 - a setback that
afterwards landed him on the disabled list with elbow discomfort - and is 0-3
lifetime against them with a 5.34 ERA in seven games, five of which have been
starts.
Cleveland will counter with righty Justin Masterson, who beat Marcum and the
Jays in that July 1 contest, but is 0-2 in four starts since. Masterson fell
to Tampa Bay on Sunday, as he allowed four runs (three earned) and five hits
in 6 2/3 innings, dropping him to 3-9 on the year.
This will be Masterson's second start against the Blue Jays. He is 2-0 in
eight appearances against them with a 2.04 ERA.
Cleveland enters this series on the heels of losing three of four to the New York Yankees, including an 11-4 loss on Thursday at Progressive Field. Austin
Kearns and Matt LaPorta each drove in a run for the Indians, who have lost
five of six.
Frank Herrmann (0-1) was charged in defeat with a run in 1 1/3 relief innings.
Starter Mitch Talbot departed after two-plus innings due to a mid-back strain
after allowing a run while walking four.
Cleveland has won four of its seven meetings with the Jays this season.
