Overbay's walk off home run lifts Toronto to victory

Did Lyle Overbay ever pick the right time to crank a game winning 2 run home run! With two out and a man on base, the 1st baseman lifted an Dan Giese offering over the wall in right centre to cap off a thrilling 4-2 Jays victory in 12 innings...

Having seen his playing time reduced (to starting exclusively against only right handed pitching) Overbay has responded brilliantly. He went 2 for 4 in this one with the winning 2 run bomb, a double, scoring the tying run, and drew a pair of walks. Since the reduction in his at-bats, Overbay has gone 6 for 16, increasing his batting average from .200 to .290, to go along with 2 home runs and 6 RBI in his last 3 games...

Having squandered several opportunities to put this game away, the Blue Jays seemed destined to repeat what they did almost exactly one year ago. They suffered a crushing sweep at the hands of the Athletics at home in a series that left the team in a downward spiral for weeks. But with the aid of an improved Overbay, the Jays came out on top and with a win Sunday, they will improve their record to a sterling 10-4...
