Player Notes

June 26, 2008
Jesse Litsch had lost three consecutive decisions and had not won a game in the month of June before earning the victory in Toronto's 7-1 victory over Cincinnati. Litsch went eight innings, allowing just three hits and one earned run while striking out six.

Our View:The 23-year-old broke out of his losing streak while shutting down a quality offense along the way. Litsch only had 34 major league starts before tonight, so some inconsistency is to be expected.

June 21, 2008
Jesse Litsch will be looking for his first win in June when the Jays battle the Pirates in Pittsburgh tonight, according to MLB.com. Litsch is 7-3 for the season, but is 0-2 over three starts so far this month.

Our View:Litsch is 4-2 with a 3.89 ERA on the road this year, and has a good chance to get back on track against the 35-39 Pirates, who will be without Xavier Nady. Litsch went 4-0 with a strong 2.08 ERA over six outings in May.

June 15, 2008
Jesse Litsch allowed five runs on eight hits, walked one and struck out two in a 7-4 loss to the Cubs on Sunday afternoon.

Our View:Litsch did a better job with his command, something he has struggled with in his last two starts, but caught too much of the plate for most of the game.

June 4, 2008
Jesse Litsch, who had a 18 inning scoreless streak entering tonight's game against the Yankees, gave up a third inning run to the Yankees ending the streak at 20. The right-hander, 5-0 with a 1.67 ERA in his previous six starts, lost for the first time since April 22 at Tampa Bay. Litsch allowed four runs on 10 hits, walked two and struck out one.

Our View:Litsch has been a fantasy windfall this year. The right-handers task was tough, facing a Yankee lineup that is patient against right-handers, felt the return of Jorge Posada, and didn't like the taste of a three-game losing streak.

May 30, 2008
According to the Jays' team website, Jesse Litsch 's performance in combination with a rare offensive windfall left the dugout loose and the team in high spirits. "We haven't had too many games like that," Gibbons said. "We came out of the gate. We hit (Dana Eveland) pretty good. We got him (with two early line drives) on the forearm and the ankle. We had some good approaches."

Our View:The Jays moved four games above .500 for the first time this season. With two games remaining, their record in May is 19-9, most wins in the majors. One of the pleasant surprises for the Jays has been second-year starter Litsch. Not even a lock for the fifth starter's role entering the spring, the 23-year-old Floridian has compiled a 7-1 record, based on pinpoint control. Following yesterday's seven innings, Litsch has recorded 16 shutout innings in a row, lowering his ERA to 3.19.
