Gil walks in a run. He has five walks in the second inning https://t.co/I3Lg9JAehx
Make that five walks out of eight #Bluejays hitters as a bases-loaded free pass to IKF forces in the tying run. Still nobody out in bot2. This has the chance to be a huge inning. https://t.co/AbVcimeUkn
Gil's second walk of the inning will load the bases with nobody out https://t.co/g2MbLt14fr
Luis Gil has walked four of the seven #Bluejays hitters he has faced so far, but they haven't scored yet. Bases loaded and nobody out in bot2 with ex #Yankee IKF coming to the plate.
