Jays reach Shields for a run

Why do we laugh when they play the sound of glass breaking or a car alarm being set off or a baseball splashing into water whenever a batter fouls a ball over the roof of the stadium?

Someone needs to look into that.

It’s the top of the second and Shields is laboring.

He plunked Aaron Hill to open the inning, walked Rod Berajas with one out and let a nubber off the bat of Russ Adams go under his glove.

Bases loaded, one out.

John McDonald pulled a line drive toward the left field line, but C.C. ran it down. Hill tagged and scored.

Jays 1, Rays 0.

Al Reyes warmed up in the bullpen, but that is because he will pitch the third.

Shields got out of the jam by getting Curtis Thigpen to fly out to center.

Does Thigpen have a nickname?
