“We’ve got to run through customs and get the heck out of Toronto“.

On Wednesday night, that was the case again.
“We did what we do best”, Bautista said.
BREWERS 10, PADRES 1: Khris Davis hit two three-run homers for Milwaukee, and Matt Garza limited San Diego to two hits in seven innings.
“He was definitely up early in the game”. “We’re feeling really good right now, we continue to swing the bats well, we’ve done that all year….”
The Yankees and Blue Jays have four series left this season including this one, and I’m guessing the Yankees will see Price in all four.
Donaldson continued to swing his hot bat against the Twins, with an RBI single in the third inning.
Twins right-hander Ervin Santana (2-2) allowed six hits, three walks and three runs while striking out two in six innings.
“They’re playing well, they’re playing confidently, and they kind of took it to us for four days”, Twins manager Paul Molitor said.
Anthopoulos gave up big-time prospects to get him, and to get Price. They have to go to Yankee Stadium, where the Yankees are 32-18 (including 9-2 over the last month). I was missing over the plate a lot with my cutter and my fastball. I bounced about 10 of them over there in the chalk.
How was I supposed to know Toronto was going to trade for Tulo?
“Every game from here on out’s big”, Brett Gardner said.
This is Eovaldi’s first appearance against Toronto.
Hawkins became the 13th pitcher to record a save against all 30 teams, completing the achievement against the team that drafted him in 1991.
Ezequiel Carrera, who made 40 starts for the Jays before Ben Revere arrived from the Philadelphia Phillies, was put on waivers, cleared and is now at triple-A Buffalo.
The Blue Jays took a 6-3 lead in the second when Bautista slugged a 3-1 changeup to center for his 24th homer of the season and fifth grand slam of his career.
Price (10-4) was also impressed by the warm welcome he received from a sellout crowd, as he was cheered during his warm-ups and left to a standing ovation after the eighth inning with the pitcher tipping his cap in return.
“Just go play, go have fun and enjoy”, he said.
Tigers 8, Royals 6 – Ian Kinsler hit a two-run homer off Ryan Madson in the bottom of the ninth inning to help Detroit dump Kansas City. Donaldson singled to right, Revere scored, Tulowitzki to second.
Believe it or not, then, the Blue Jays’ bullpen is now very good. He had gone 0-for-13 since joining Toronto.
The Toronto Blue Jays have been piling up home runs and victories.
The review officials had the option of calling it a double, a home run, or an out.
Encarnacion hit a three-run drive and Donaldson had a two-run shot.
Blue Jays general manager, Alex Anthopolous, pulled off blockbuster after blockbuster at the trade deadline. In that span, his ERA has climbed by almost a full run: from 2.85 to 3.78. It’s the second straight short start in Toronto for the Twins rotation.
While numerous Blue Jays are experiencing pennant-race baseball for the first time, Price has been here before.
“We got demolished these four games”, Twins right fielder Torii Hunter said.
