So Adam Lind did not have a 6 RBI encore performance like he had on opening day. In fact, he didn't even pick up a hit in the 2nd game of the series. He did, however, come up large to play a key role in the Blue Jays victory...
With one out in the bottom of the 9th, Lind had a superb battle with Tigers reliever Brandon Lyon. After going ahead 2-0 in the count, he fouled a couple of pitches off to square it at 2-2. Lind continued to fight, fouling another pitch back and then drawing a ball. After spoiling the next pair of pitches, he promptly was issued a free pass after a solid 9 pitch at bat. Jose Bautista came in to pinch run for Adam, so Lind represented the winning run on the Rod Barajas Sacrifice Fly...
Little things like that shouldn't go unnoticed with Lind displaying that even if he isn't dynamite some days, he can still be a vital part of this ball club winning games...
