The Fisher Cats scored in four innings to build a 7-0 lead. AJ Jimenez led the offense with three hits, including two doubles, and two RBI's. Jon Berti also had two hits and two RBI. Brad Glenn also had two hits including a double.

Deck McGuire pitched well, he went 5.1 and only allowed three hits. The one run he allowed was unearned and scored after he left the game. Two new Jays, Richard Bleier and Gregory Infante, were not as good as McGuire and Infante gave up a couple of runs. John Anderson pitched the ninth.

Dunedin 1 Clearwater 2 - 10 innings

This was a pitchers duel. Taylor Cole pitched six innings and did allow one run. He only gave up one hit but it was a triple and that runner scored. Dunedin scored their run in the first inning, Dwight Smith reached on an error and scored on a sac fly from Kc Hobson.

Danny Barnes pitched the ninth and in the tenth he walked the first hitter. Michael Reeves threw the ball away on a sac bunt putting runners on second and third with no outs. A single won the game for the Phillies. Reeves let a runner reach on interference, had a passed ball and caught a runner stealing. He halso had one of the two Dunedin hits.

Nice to see first Sanchez and now McGuire pitch well to start the season. If either of those 2 develop to the point of a callup and stay up then the Jays will be in much better shape. Right now I'd say two rotation slots are weak (Morrow & McGowan) and after Jeffress they are the next two '$1 million arm $0.10 head' guys.  FYI: that isn't so much a comment on their intelligence as on the frustration over how you never know what to expect.

In addition to going 2-4 with a double, DJ Davis also stole two bases. Nice to see him start using his reputedly excellent speed.
