Mariners at Blue Jays

Ichiro Suzuki's Plate Appearance. 

I used to mimic his batting stance in high school game and everyone would find it amusing.

-

Top of the 9th. Scoreboard indicated 5 runs for the Jays and 3 runs for the Mariners.

2 Outs and 2 Strikes. Everyone in the crowd stood up and started clapping when the closer was about to throw the last ball of the game. Kyle Seager hit a easy ground ball but Brett Lawrie screwed the chance to end the game by causing a throwing error. The pinch hitter reaches the first base. 

The pinch hitter gets replaced by pinch runner, Munenori Kawasaki. One first, still 2 Outs. While Dustin Ackley was at bat, the Blue Jays catcher, J.P. Arenciba attempted pickoff and caused a throwing error. The runner reached to the third base. With an intentional walk of Dustin Ackley, the base was again loaded up with runners on first and third. Another pinch hitter, John Jaso singles on a soft line drive to the centre field- allowing the two runners to reach home. The game became tied to 5-5; another ninth-inning collapse of the Jays, another blown save, and another disappointing loss at home.

Top of the 10th, Michael Saunders hits a grand slams (3 runners on) to right field.

Justine Smoak scored. Jesus Montero scored. Alex Liddi scored. 

Beside the tragedy, the game was overall enjoyable. Although, Ichiro Suzuki and Jose Bautista, did not make a single hit through out the game, there were other fine plays done by underrated players. It was good to see the new centre fielder, Colby Rasmus, doing well and Edwin Encarnacion, keeps rolling as usual. I've also tried to keep the scorecard for the first time. Moreover, I found out that 500 levels seats are not bad for its price (15$)- I might as well watch more games in the atmosphere that I love.
