I didn’t want to use another Blue Jays game shot for my picture of the day but something happened in tonight’s 11 inning game that I wanted to capture. The Jays bullpen ran out of gas in the 11th. Giving up 7 runs and only recording one out. So Gibbons turned to Tolleson, who had come into the game as a pitch runner and was hitting in the DH position to get the final 2 outs. He struck out the first batter he faced and cause the second to fly out. An impressive pitching performance by a position player. It also means we saw the pitcher hit in the home half of the 11.
