Angels starter Ervin Santana was looking to improve on his 6-4 lifetime record against the Blue Jays that included three complete game efforts. 
Santana allowed five hits and five walks over six innings but gave up just two runs.

Mike McCoy leads off from third base in the first inning. He singled to lead off the game but was stranded after Kelly Johnson went down swinging with the bases loaded. It was McCoy's only hit in six at-bats.
Alberto Callaspo steps on home plate after homering off Jays starter Henderson Alvarez in the second inning to give the Halos a 1-0 lead.
Eric Thames is about to complete his home run sprint as his leadoff homer in the seventh inning off Santana tied the game at 2-2. That chased the Angels starter from the ball game.

Edwin Encarnacion is about to get a pounding at home plate after hitting his 17th and final home run of 2011 to complete a 2-for-5 performance that included a walk. The walk-off job against Angels reliever Garrett Richards gave the Jays a 4-3 win in 12 innings. Shawn Camp, who worked a one-walk inning, was the winning pitcher. The home finale marked the final time the Jays will wear the J-bird uniforms as they will have brand new duds for 2012. They are to be revealed November 18.
