The Doctor was certainly in tonight!
Outside of a 4-run debacle in the 7th, Halladay pitched a gem to lead the Jays to a 6-4 win on Tuesday night. Along the way he piled up a career-high 14 K's in his second complete game of the season to improve his record to 9-1 on the season.
The Jays offense pounded out 9 hits and 6 runs on Angels' starter Joe Saunders over his 5.1 IP. After the bullpen blew a disasterous 5 run lead in Halladay's last start vs. Baltimore, Cito Gaston wasn't taking any chances tonight and let the Doctor go the distance, throwing a total of 133 pitches, 88 for strikes.
Next up: Casey Janssen (1-1, 4.15) takes the hill for the Jays' in the second of a three game set. The Angels will counter with Jered Weaver (4-2, 2.36 ERA) who is off to an impressive start to the 2009 season. The Jays will have their work cut out for them as Weaver has posted a 4-1 record against the Jays in 5 career starts.
