Tampa, Fla.– The Blue Jays racked up 11 hits Tuesday night at Steinbrenner Field which included four off starter and losing pitcher C.C. Sabathia.

There ended up being five Jays with two hits.  Jose Reyes from the lead off spot was 2 for 3 with a triple.  Dioner Navarro was 2 for 2, with Dayan Viciedo, Devon Travis and Josh Thole the other two hit candidates.

C.C. Sabathia was hit hard in two innings, giving up only two runs on the four hits but it seemed like the ball was flying off the Toronto lumber.  Sabathia strikeout two and walked no one.   His counterpart,  Drew Hutchinson,  was the winner going four innings giving up two runs on four hits striking out three and issuing one free pass.
