Blue Jays MiLB Recap: Bisons and D-Jays hit parade!

Dunedin Blue Jays @ Palm Beach Cardinals (Win 10-3)

The D-Jays came out of the dugout hot in this one.  They were able to grab two runs early and then ripped it wide open in the 5th inning.  On the mound, Tom Robson got his season going in the right direction as he allowed only one run on three hits in 5.0 innings of work.  Robson also struck out four while walking three.  Brad Allen had the real difficulties as he allowed two runs on four hits his during his two innings of work.  Tim Mayza was assigned the mop up duty for the final two innings and allowed one hit and a walk while striking out three.

Pitching Grade:  B+

On to the offence that was the star of the game.  David Harris opened up the offence with a single in the 2nd that scored two runs.  Jonathan Davis popped his 3rd homer of the season in the 5th.  It was a 3-run shot that led to the 4-run 5th inning for the D-Jays.  Every D-Jay was able to reach base during the game that had six extra base hits on 15 hits.  Jason Leblebijian collected three singles and an RBI out of the 3-hole in the lineup and continues to heat up.  Emilio Guerrero continues to impress as he raked a pair of doubles, scored two runs, and another RBI.  Guerrero is now 6-9 with three doubles, and three RBI in his first two games with the D-Jays.

Offensive Grade:  A+

Lansing Lugnuts vs Fort Wayne Tin Caps (Loss 1-7)

An early deficit and lack of offence led to a loss for the Lugnuts Monday.  Ryan Cook allowed five earned runs in four innings of work to start off the evening for the Lugnuts.  He allowed five hits and walked four while only striking out one.  Dan Leitz pitched the next two innings and allowed one more run on two hits and two walks.  Starlyn Suriel and Colton Turner finished off the final three innings and allowed no base runners for the remainder.

Pitching Grade:  C+

The Tin Caps pitching dominated the Lugnuts lineup and only allowed a few base runners the entire game.  Jean Cosme and Austin Smith combined to strike out 10 Lugnut batters and only walk one each.  The only Lugnuts offense came together among five hits and the pair of walks for just one run.  A Carl Wise RBI single scored the lone run in the second.  Gunnar Heidt was the only player with a multi hit game.  He went 2-3 with a double and a run scored.

Offensive Grade:  D+

Line of the game – Gunnar Heidt 2-3 with a double and a run scored
