Henderson Alvarez throws his first career shutout for the Blue Jays, defeating the Angels, 4 – 0. It comes one day after teammate Brandon Morrow shut out Los Angeles on a three-hitter, the first back-to-back complete game shutouts by Blue Jay pitchers since Jack Morris and Al Leiter in their last World Series-winning season, in 1993. For his part, Ervin Santana falls to 0-6 for the struggling Angels. The Angels have failed to score in Santana’s last five starts, setting a major league record for poor run support.
