Ho hum. The Jays show what they can do with a couple of timely hits and pull out the finale against the Angels, 4-3. The Jays allowed only 10 runs during the three game set, but of course its the Jays so they scored only 7 and won just once.

The Jays are in fact the second lowest scoring team in the AL at the moment, averaging 3.78 runs a game (the Royals are worst, at 3.77). Anyway, enough of that. Lyle Overbay was the hero tonight, cranking a no doubter into the right field stands to give the Jays a 4-3 lead they would not relinquish. Over his last 16 games Overbay has is hitting .315 with 7 doubles and 2 home runs; he's also drawn 9 walks. That Overbay is seemingly better after struggling for a long time with the after effects of his broken hand from last year is a big plus.

Elsewhere:

The Royals come to town for a four game set, and it will be the unstoppable force versus the imovable object, or something. I wouldn't count on a lot of runs being scored - I'll put the over/under at 25 for 4 games.
