yes it was.  7.1 and 2 runs.  You'll sign up for that every time.  That it was the Blue jays shouldn't detract from his performance.  But, admit it, after they staked him to a 4 run lead in the 4th and he ahd 1 run in and 2 on with only one out in the bottom of the 4th, I'm sure I am not the only one who had visions of an implosion.  He had a couple of other innings where he got men on where a better hitting team might have made him pay, but he hung in there and got the big outs when he needed them.

Now go out and do it again versus Boston next weekend.

The 4th was really kind of odd.  It wasn't like it was a long inning but he came out missing in the zone and they were hitting him.  It's like he's being told that he needs to learn how to pitch with a lead but he relaxes too much.  He missed a couple of spots badly in the 5th too but the caliber of the lineup allowed him to get through it.
