Romero Looking for 5th Straight Win


Jay's Ricky Romero will be looking for his 5th straight win tonight against the Oakland Athletics, as they begin a four game series at O.co Coliseum. Romero, who has gone 11-9 with an era. of 2.87 this season, has surrendered just four runs in his past 31 1/3 innings. Romero explains that getting ahead in the count was vital to the success he has had in his past 4 starts stating "I think the key for me every time I go deep into games is strike one. That's big with me, and when I do that, I feel like I'm in control". 

Romero is matched up with another ace tonight in Oakland's 23 year-old Trevor Cahill who has gone 9-11 this season with an era. a shade below 4.00. Hopefully Lawrie can keep catapulting the Jays to victory and give Romero some help.
