White Sox Fall To Blue Jays 7-5 In 10 Innings

http://0rz.tw/Lz8d5

CHICAGO (AP) — Chien-Ming Wang and Joey Bautista gave Toronto a chance, and
two late miscues by the Chicago White Sox gave the Blue Jays a win.

Bautista hit a game-tying home run in the ninth inning and Rajai Davis scored
on a wild pitch in the 10th to lead the Blue Jays to a 7-5 win over the White
Sox at a dimmed U.S. Cellular Field on Tuesday night.

Wang made his first start of the season after signing with the injury-riddled
Blue Jays, lasting 7 1-3 innings while giving up five runs and 10 hits to
help Toronto avoid a three-game losing streak.

“I thought he did a great job,” Gibbons said. “He really did.”

During the 10th, there was a brief delay after a handful of bulbs in the
light standards above the infield at U.S. Cellular Field went out as Ramon
Troncoso (0-1) prepared to throw his 2-1 pitch to Adam Lind. Following the
delay, Davis scored on Troncoso’s wild pitch.

Toronto took a 7-5 lead when Maicer Izturis came home on Munenori Kawasaki’s
double after Tyler Flowers dropped Alexei Ramirez’s relay throw for Chicago’
s third error of the night.

Brett Cecil (2-0) went 1 2-3 innings for the win and Casey Janssen pitched a
scoreless 10th for his 13th save in 14 tries, getting Adam Dunn to ground out
with runners on first and second to end the game as the lights returned to
full strength.

“It’s baseball season. We’re happy tonight and tomorrow’s a new day,”
said Lind, who had three hits. “Another tough game tomorrow, their ace
(Chris Sale) is on the mound so we know what we’re in for.”

Wang started the season at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in the Yankees’
organization, but opted out of his minor league deal last Friday after going
4-4 with a 2.33 ERA in nine starts.

Wang has spent seven seasons in the major leagues, five with the Yankees, but
last started at least 15 games in 2008. Tuesday was only his 26th start since
then because of a series of injuries.

Before Tuesday, Wang hadn’t pitched in any game since June 1, when he threw
seven shutout innings against Durham. His previous major league start was
Sept. 23 against the Brewers, and his last win was June 12 of last year
against the Blue Jays, when he was with the Washington Nationals.


Manager John Gibbons said Wang will get another start for the Blue Jays.

To make room for Wang, the Blue Jays designated IF Andy LaRoche for
assignment. LaRoche was 1 for 4 in one game with the Blue Jays.

Before Tuesday, Blue Jays relievers had thrown 18 innings over their last
three games, including 11 during their 4-3 18-inning win Saturday over Texas.

Wang struggled through the fourth, allowing five runs to fall behind 5-2, but
settled in and gave the bullpen a rest. He escaped a bases-loaded jam with no
outs in the fifth by striking out Paul Konerko and getting Dunn to line into
a double play.

“I’m very happy to be back and thank you to the Blue Jays for giving me a
chance and opportunity to play baseball in the major leagues,” Wang said.

The White Sox, meanwhile, gave Toronto ample chances to get back into the
game.

Chicago’s three errors gave the Blue Jays three unearned runs. The three
errors gave them 42 this season after 70 last year, and they’ve now given up
23 unearned runs after surrendering 30 in 2012.

They also made mistakes on the bases. Dayan Viciedo got caught stealing in
the second, Alejandro De Aza was picked off first in the third, Gordon
Beckham was thrown out at third by Bautista in the fourth and Ramirez was
doubled off second in the fifth on Dunn’s liner.

“We kept shooting ourselves in the foot running the bases,” Chicago manager
Robin Ventura said. “Any time you lose like that it doesn’t feel good.”

Jose Quintana pitched 6 1-3 innings, giving up four runs (two earned) and six
hits while striking out five to leave with a chance for his first win since
May 21. Dunn hit a solo home run, his 17th of the year, and Conor Gillaspie
hit a three-run homer off Wang in the fourth to give Chicago a 5-2 lead.

Even after Edwin Encarnacion’s two-run home run in the fifth cut the White
Sox lead to 5-4, Chicago was one out from a win until Bautista connected off
closer Addison Reed.

“I felt great out there,” Reed said. “One bad pitch and the next thing you
know it, tie ballgame.”

A FINE DEBUT FOR CHIEN-MING

I had no idea what to expect from Wang when he took the mound for the first
time as a Blue Jay, the first Jays player ever to wear No. 67.

The righty with the heavy, heavy sinker had a couple of great years with the
Yankees until his career was derailed by a sprained ligament and torn tendon
in his foot, an injury suffered running the bases in a 2008 interleague game
in Houston. He’s never been the same since, and the 33 year-old was trying
to work his way back to the bigs in the Yankees system when the Blue Jays
scooped him out of triple-A Scranton Wilkes-Barre and put him on the mound in
Chicago.

He’d posted a 2.33 ERA and 1.155 WHIP with the RailRaiders and he came out
looking pretty good against the White Sox, retiring the side in order on just
eight pitches in the first inning.

Wang wound up taking the game into the eighth, a feat that’s been far too
rarely accomplished by a Blue Jays starter this season, and but for a bump in
the road in the fourth and fifth, had a very strong start.

That bump was a pretty big one, though. At one point, Wang had eight straight
Chicago hitters reach base against him, and his start (and perhaps his Blue
Jays career) would have gone right down the tubes if not for two things:
Bautista’s laser beam to third base which cut down Gordon Beckham trying to
advance, ending the fourth, and Kawasaki being in absolutely perfect position
in the fifth, which allowed him to snare Adam Dunn’s rocket line drive up
the middle and turn It into an inning-ending double play.

Wang got a second wind after his Houdini act in the fifth, an inning in which
the Pale Hose loaded the bases with nobody out but didn’t score. He came
back out for the sixth and wound up retiring 11 of the last 12 batters he
faced, more than likely earning himself another start, which is scheduled for
Sunday afternoon against the Rangers in Texas.

Blue Jays come from behind to beat White Sox

Blue Jays come from behind to beat White Sox 0

BY BOB ELLIOTT ,TORONTO SUN
FIRST POSTED: WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12, 2013 12:21 AM EDT | UPDATED: WEDNESDAY,
JUNE 12, 2013 03:22 AM EDT

CHICAGO - For the 1971 Baltimore Orioles, the 1995 Atlanta Braves, or the
2010 San Francisco Giants the outing probably would have been scoffed at.

Right-hander Chien-Ming Wang made his debut Tuesday night with the Blue Jays
allowing 10 hits and five runs in 7 1/3 innings.

The Blue Jays won once down to their final two outs in the ninth, Jose
Bautista hit a game-tying homer and Rajai Davis’ bat and legs won it in the
10th, landing them a 7-5 win over the last-place Chicago White Sox, before
20,700 fans at U.S. Cellular Field.

Yet in the grand scheme of things, the most impressive was Wang.

He worked 7 1/3 innings -- only the fourth Blue Jays starter to work 7 1/3 or
more this season.

Roughed up in fourth for four runs, he gave his team a chance to win the game.

And that’s a starter’s job whether he pitches eight scoreless with the
score 1-0 game or working 6 2/3, leaving with a 6-5 lead.

“It was a gutsy outing,” said R.A. Dickey, who had two of the other three
outings 7 1/3 innings or longer.

“After that rough outing he and J.P. (catcher Arencibia) changed the tempo
of the game.”

The starting rotation was supposed to be the Jays strength this year.

While Neil Wagner and Juan Perez have been promoted and had success out of
the bullpen, the Jays have been searching for starting help.

“We were deeper in the bullpen at Buffalo,” manager John Gibbons said
before the game. “We didn’t anticipate a need for the rotation.”

Dickey is the only Jays starter to answer the bell each and every time out,
so out trotter the 12th man, the 12th different starter the Jays have used:
Wang, fresh from triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in the New York Yankees
system.

“If he doesn’t have that rough fourth, he was capable of throwing a
complete game the way he managed his pitch count and pounded the zone,” said
reliever Steve Delabar.

Of the first 22 hitters Wang faced, 11 reached. Not so good. A start like
that would have likely earned early showers for the Orioles (Jim Palmer, Dave
McNally, Mike Cuellar and Pat Dobson), the Braves (Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine,
John Smoltz and Steve Avery) or the Giants (Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain, Jonathan
Sanchez and Madison Bumgarner).

How did Wang last so long, allowing so many base runners?

After a 1-2-3 first, he had help from other arms as well as his own.

J.P. Arencibia blocked a ball in the dirt in the second, Dayan Viciedo took
off from first and Arencibia, threw him out at second.

Wang picked Alejandro De Aza off first to end the third.

When Tyler Flowers singled to right, Gordon Beckham tried to go to third and
was nailed by the best right arm in the park, Bautista.

“I attacked the ball, came up with it clean and it looked like he took a
wide turn around second,” said Bautista.

The “cliamax” of the game, according to Dickey, along with Bautista’s
homer, came in the fourth. Down 5-2 Wang found himself with the bases loaded
and none out.

He struck out Paul Konerko and Adam Dunn, a .181 hitter but dangerous as
DiMaggio against the Jays lined to shortstop Munenori Kawaski, who made a
leaping grab and stepped on second ending the inning -- two outs for the
price of one rocket.

The veteran found his Lake Michigan sea legs after the rocky four-run fourth
and the fifth-inning jam, retiring six of the final seven he faced.

Was he spectacular? No?

Did he do his job? Yes.

“What he did was break out his splitter, he didn’t even throw it in the
bullpen, he may have used it 20-25 times,” said pitching coach Pete Walker.
“In his prime he was probably 90% sinkers.

“He was efficient adding the splitter.”

Wang finished strong, retiring eight of the previous nine he faced, giving
way to Brett Cecil, who was lights out again retiring all five men he faced
with two strikeouts, lowering his ERA to 1.59.

The Jays star search for stability has not been answered, but it’s another
game done and a win. He’ll start when the Jays play the Texas Rangers Sunday
in Arlington.

“We’re hoping to get 100 pitches out of him, he’s stretched out,” manager
John Gibbons told reporters before the game. “Our bullpen was in rough shape
on the previous road trip, we went home, got things straightened out and now
we’re beleaguered again.”

Struggling to find himself after shoulder surgery, Wang threw 93 pitches, 59
for strikes, recording nine ground ball outs and said later “I’m very happy
to be back and thank you to the Blue Jays for giving me the opportunity to
play baseball in the major leagues.”

He drew five film crews, including Chi-Fei Fan of TVBS, some from New York,
Washington and Taiwan. There were members of the print media as well to cover
the big news.

Wang gave up a solo homer to Dunn in the second, a 391-foot shot to right in
the second after the Jays had gone up 2-0.

With two out in the fourth Viciedo singled home a run and Connor Gillaspie
followed with a three-run homer to right centre for a 5-2 lead.

Davis singled leading off the 10th, stole second, advanced on a fly ball to
right and scored the winner when Hector Troncoso bounced a pitch to the
screen.

Closer Casey Janssen retired Dunn, after falling behind 3-1, on a grounder
with two men aboard he picked up his 13th save, this one 1-2-3-4-5.

“He’s a damage hitter,” said Janssen. “He’s a hitter that if you make a
mistake with, he can crush it. You make your pitch, you have a chance to get
him.”

Bautista hit a 1-2 pitch down the left field line from closer Addison Reed
evening the score 5-5.

“It worked to my advantage when he threw me a slider,” said Bautista. “I
wasn’t picking up his fastball that well. I faced him Monday and he was
throwing harder when he was 90-91. He’s tough the way he throws across his
body.”

The Jays went up by two in the 10th, when Kawaski doubled into the left-field
corner and third base coach Luis Rivera waved home Maicer Izturis, who
collided with Flowers and the ball popped loose.

Edwin Encarnacion had the chicken wing out as he trotted around the bases in
the fifth. Melky Cabrera had doubled and Encarnacion hit a 1-0 pitch to deep
left cutting the Sox lead to 5-4 for his 18th homer.

Toronto scored in the first when Mark De Rosa reached on an error by Alexei
Ramirez, moved to third on a Lind double, one of three hits he had one the
night, and scored on a passed ball. Izturis singled home Lind for a 2-0 lead.

There were flashes of lightening in the 10th, but the real thunder was in
Bautista’s bat, who hit his third homer in two games.

“I don’t worry about our record,” said Bautista. “How many wins is the
first place team going to have? We don’t know. We need one more win.

“Everyone in the division could be under .500. If they below .500 we still
need one more win.”
