In their second night game of the year, the Jays wanted to prove that their first night game loss was simply a fluke.  Milwaukee, however, had other ideas and easily handled the Jays to the tune of 10-4.  The Jays simply are too tired from either school or camp or being 7 and 8, and these night games just are not kind to us. 

Colin got the start, and while he pitched well, Milwaukee was able to do something no other team had done this year – score on Colin.  Down 2-0 after the top of the first, the Jays had hopes of plating a few quick runs.  Other than a walk by Tommy, however, the Jays could not get anything going. 

In the top of the second, Colin was able to breeze through the Milwaukee hitters on 16 pitches.  IN the bottom of the second, the Jays were able to get a run back to make it 2-1 as Jack got hit by a pitch to lead things off.  Colin advanced Jack into scoring position with a fielder’s choice and Brooks brought him in with a single. 

The Jays put Milwaukee down in order in the first coach pitch inning with the help of 2 outstanding plays by Mary at the pitcher’s mound.  Despite a single by CJ in the bottom of the third, however, the Jays were not able to score any runs, and end the end of three complete innings, the Jays were trailing 2-1. 

Milwaukee opened things up in the top of the 4^th by plating 5 runs to take a commanding 7-1 lead.  Once again, despite a single by Daniel, the Jays were not able to push across a single run.  In the top of the 5^th, Brooks was able to set Milwaukee down almost in order, striking out 3 of the 5 batters he faced, but in the bottom of the 5^th, the Jays themselves went down in order. 

Milwaukee plated another three runs in the top of the 6^th to take an overwhelming 10-1 lead.  In the bottom of the 6^th, the Jays were able to plate 3 to make the score slightly more respectable, but the game was well out of reach.

There is nothing to be ashamed of in that game, Jays.  I would like to make sure that we play as hard for the whole game as we did in the last inning.  We are a very good ball club, but we still have a way to go in this season before we start congratulating ourselves.  Milwaukee, Seattle and Colorado are not going to give us the league championship.  We are going to have to earn it.
