September 30th-Rays @ Jays « Result #4 on Sept 30, 2007, 6:16am »
Well, it's been a long ride, but we finally arrive at game number 162. Here's the matchup.
Rays: Hammel's outing was definitely not his best, still it was one hit that doomed him in the end. The right-hander threw 101 pitches over just five innings and scattered seven Yankees hits, but was tagged with five earned runs, most of which came when he served up a ball Alex Rodriguez quickly turned into his third grand slam of the season. He didn't figure in the decision after the Rays scored six in the sixth inning. Hammel walked three and fanned four in the game, and will have one last chance to make a good impression on the Rays before the end of the year.
Blue Jays: Since returning from the disabled list on Aug. 12, Burnett has gone 5-1 with a 2.32 ERA, 64 strikeouts and 44 hits allowed over 66 innings across nine starts. On Tuesday, the right-hander was inconsistent, but effective in a win over the Orioles. Over 6 2/3 innings, Burnett allowed 10 hits and struck out seven, yielding four runs for the first time since giving up five in an injury-shortened outing on June 28. The win also gave Burnett 10 wins for the second straight season for the Jays. In his career against the Rays, Burnett is 6-1 with a 2.45 ERA in 12 starts.
