Blue Jays use power to down Phillies

Baseball Betting Lines

06/26/2010 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Alex Gonzalez and John Buck each hit two- run homers and Aaron Hill added a solo round-tripper to pace the Blue Jays over the Phillies, 5-1, in the middle test of a three-game set.

Shaun Marcum (7-3) tossed six solid innings and struck out six compared to one walk and five hits allowed, one of which was Ryan Howard's solo home run, to earn the win for Toronto, which had lost four of five coming in.

Cole Hamels (6-6) was touched for all five runs on seven hits and three walks in a four-inning start for the Phillies, who had their four-game winning streak snapped.

Buck's two-run shot came in the second inning, and Hill provided a solo blast in the home third after the Phillies stranded runners on the corners in the top of the frame.

Gonzalez tacked on his 14th homer following Fred Lewis' infield single in the fourth to make it 5-0.

Despite three Phillies relievers -- Nelson Figueroa, Danys Baez and Mike Zagurski -- holding the Blue Jays from there, the Phillies only managed Howard's bomb into the bullpen beyond the center field wall in the sixth.

Scott Downs pitched two perfect innings in relief for Toronto, and Shawn Camp set down the Phillies' 4-5-6 hitters in order in the ninth to close out the win.

Game Notes

This series was moved to Citizens Bank Park as a result of Toronto's hosting of world leaders for the G20 Summit. The Blue Jays batted last and both teams played with a designated hitter...Toronto upped its MLB-best home run total to 114...Chase Utley had two of Philadelphia's five hits...Lewis went 2-for-3 and also walked twice.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship.  Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92.  After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points.  Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1.  Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years.  With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed.  UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern.  Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier.  OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak.  Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four.  It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta.  But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
