Ricky Romero puts his unblemished record on the line this afternoon when the
Toronto Blue Jays try to hand the Texas Rangers their second straight series
loss in the finale of a three-game set at Rogers Centre. Toronto won in
thrilling fashion on Tuesday, as Brett Lawrie lined Mike Adams full-count slider
over the wall in left-center field in the bottom of the ninth inning to break a
tie and give the Blue Jays an 8-7 victory. “I was just locked in,” said Lawrie.
“Those are the [at-bats] that you get pumped up for, and youve just got to be
ready to go.” Kelly Johnson and Jose Bautista hit back-to-back homers to help
Toronto climb out of an early 5-0 hole and Johnson finished with four runs
batted in for the Blue Jays, who have won three of four and bounced back from a
4-1 loss in the opener. Francisco Cordero (1-1) allowed a run in the ninth to
record his second blown save of the season but got the win. Ian Kinsler knocked
in three runs and scored twice in the losing effort. The Rangers had won a team
record six straight series to start the season before losing two of three to
Tampa Bay over the weekend. They also havent lost two straight games this
season. And theyll likely be without slugger Josh Hamilton for the third
straight game because of a sore back. Rangers manager Ron Washington has stated
that he wont return until he is 100 percent. Now, they face Romero, who has
given the Rangers fits over hiis career, posting a 2-1 mark against them, while
allowing just three runs and striking out 24 in 29 1 /3 innings. Kevin Walter Jersey. Romero has followed up
his All-Star campaign from a year ago with a strong start to this season, going
3-0 with a 3.18 ERA in five starts. He did not get a decision his last time out
against Seattle, but pitched well in allowing just two earned runs in 6 2/3
innings. He did walk three batters and has issued 13 free passes in 34 innings
this season. Still, it was his fourth straight quality start since his Opening
Day no- decision in Cleveland. “Thats my goal every time I take the mound is
just to go out there and try to get as deep as possible,” Romero said. Romeros
also 6-0 with a 2.78 ERA in 10 home starts dating to a 4-1 loss to the New York
Yankees on July 16. Texas, meanwhile, will counter with lefty Matt Harrison, who
was banged around in his first loss of the season on Friday to the Rays.
Harrison gave up seven runs (six earned) and 14 hits in only five innings of
that one, as he fell to 3-1 and more than doubled his ERA to 3.37. “It just
seemed like tonight that they had my number,” said Harrison, who had allowed
just four runs through his first three starts. “And some of the hitters, every
fastball I threw, they were right on top of it.” It may not get any better
today, as Harrison has surrendered 16 runs in 14 2/3 innings to the Blue Jays.
The Blue Jays were 6-4 versus the Rangers last season. ’ ’ ’
