Roy Halladay's elbow held up last night, pitching a solid game five days after taking a line drive off his pitching elbow. He didn't figure in the decision, as he wasn't around in the 10th when Aaron Hill hit a game winning 2 run home run to give the Jays a 4-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.
Halladay allowed 3 runs over 9 innings of work. He threw 112 pitches, 80 which were for strikes, striking out 5 batters. Aaron Hill went 4-for-4, with 3 runs scored.
Ted Lilly looks to increase his career high win total today. The Blue Jays trail the second place Boston Red Sox by a game and a half. With Manny Ramirez potentially gone for the season, the Jays should be able to overtake the Sox for second place in the AL East. But at this point, does it really matter if they pass them?
