Toronto Blue Jays open the 2012 season with a win over the Indians in 16 innings

Well that's over... Thank goodness. The Blue Jays opened 2012 with the longest Opening Day game in MLB history at Progressive Field by topping the Cleveland Indians by a score of 7-4 in 16 innings. Toronto found themselves in an early 4-0 hole, but scored 3 runs in the top of the 9th to send the game to extra innings. Both teams had opportunities to score in the additional innings, but neither team could score. That is until JP Arencibia walked to the plate. On the first pitch, he attempted to sac bunt to move ahead the baserunners. After given the green light to swing away on the very next pitch, Arencibia hammered a homer, deep into left field, to give the Blue Jays their first victory of 2012.

Toronto slaps around Baltimore, win 13-0

The Toronto Blue Jays routed the Baltimore Orioles as they won 13-0. The Toronto offense picked up 20 hits and smacked 4HRs, including Jose Bautista's 39th (leads the MLB) and Kelly Johnson's first as a Blue Jay. Henderson Alvarez picked up his first Major League win after allowing only three hits in 8 innings. The 21-year old became the youngest Jays pitcher to win a game since 1979. Though Toronto will miss the playoffs this year they have four more years to try to get Joey Bats in October since his contract expires in 2015.
