Encarnacion homers again as Blue Jays blast Diamondbacks

Baseball Betting Lines

05/23/2010 - Phoenix, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jose Bautista homered and drove in four runs and Edwin Encarnacion finished his torrid weekend with another home run as Toronto clubbed Arizona, 12-4, to salvage the last of a three-game set at Chase Field.

Shaun Marcum (4-1) was the beneficiary of all the offense, as he went five innings to grab the win for the Blue Jays, who snapped a three-game skid. He allowed three runs on six hits, while walking one and striking out a season-high eight in his first career meeting against Arizona.

Encarnacion had five homers and eight RBI in the series.

John McDonald, who was one of seven players with multiple hits, collected a pair, drove in two and scored twice for Toronto, which improved to 15-9 on the road.

Billy Buckner (0-2) suffered the loss in his second start of the season after getting knocked around for eight runs -- seven earned -- on 11 hits over four- plus frames. He walked one and struck out a pair, as the Diamondbacks had their four-game win streak broken. Chris Young homered and knocked in two runs for Arizona.

Tony Abreu doubled with one out in the home first and came in to score the game's first run on a two-out single by Justin Upton.

Fred Lewis led off the third with a single and advanced to second base when Abreu's fielding error allowed Aaron Hill to reach. Both runners advanced on an Adam Lind ground out and came in to score when Jose Bautista stroked a base hit to center field.

Marcum helped his own cause with a run-scoring double in the fourth that plated McDonald with one out to make it a 3-1 game.

The Diamondbacks got a run back in their half of the fourth when Stephen Drew doubled to begin the inning and scored on a two-out single by Young.

The Blue Jays then turned on the power switch in the fifth inning getting a two-run home run from Bautista and a monstrous two-run shot from Encarnacion, who left the yard three times Friday and again on Saturday. McDonald followed with a double that chased Buckner from the game and Jose Molina greeted Cesar Valdez with a base hit that scored McDonald to finish off the five-run rally for an 8-2 lead.

Arizona tallied in the bottom half of the inning on a run-scoring single by Augie Ojeda that made it an 8-3 contest.

McDonald came up with the bases loaded and two out in the sixth and sent a sinking line drive to left field that Conor Jackson did not make the catch on. Hill and Lind came in to score and then, when the ball skipped past Jackson, Encarnacion, who had been intentionally passed, was able to score all the way from first base.

Toronto loaded the bases with nobody out in the seventh against Saul Rivera and pushed across a run on a Lind sacrifice fly.

Young launched a lead off long ball in the bottom of the ninth off Kevin Gregg to account for the game's final run.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.

NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.

Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.

Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.

Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
