But we thought Sunil has been hitting the ball well. They did, however, manage to stitch a partnership of 52 runs at a run-a-ball but it was in 18 over that the complexion of the match changed completely.

Given Bauer's acute struggles with runners on base, though, facing him in this series might be just what the Jays need to get their RISP mojo ... (more...)
