Impressive, he remembers thinking.

“I’m happy to be viewed as part of it”, Price said. 263 with Troy Tulowitzki hitting.303, Josh Donaldson hitting.295, and Kevin Pillar hitting.264.
Donaldson and Tulowitzki both drilled second-deck homers off Twins right-hander Phil Hughes, who leads the majors with 27 home runs allowed this season.
With the win, the Blue Jays jump ahead of the Twins in the standings, and could take sole possession of a playoff spot with a Baltimore loss.
Over the past few days, and particularly on the weekend, “our daily sales volumes (tickets we sell on a day-to-day to basis for all future games) were more than quadruple what we normally sell”, Jason Diplock, the Jays vice-president of ticket sales and service, said in an email.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi said he wasn’t sure if facing a knuckleballer in R.A. Dickey would make it more hard for his lineup to adjust to Price Saturday.
“We are very confident, no doubt about that”. The Blue Jays are the second-best team in the AL at limiting hits during home games, allowing only 7.7 hits per game to their opponents this season.
“The Yanks have been tough on him a time or two; they have such a good lineup over there”, Gibbons said. “The way they hit the ball is just unbelievable”. Minnesota’s Hunter likened Toronto’s repeated bludgeoning of the baseball to the sound of a series of auto crashes.
The following are updates on area Major League Baseball players. Buehrle (LHP) will be on the hill against the Twins, who have a 21-17 record against left-handed starting pitchers.
He compared the feeling around the team to 2005, when he was with the Chicago White Sox. “We got crushed. They just outplayed us in every facet of the game”. We’ve got a lot of games left.
Brewers 10, Padres 1 – Khris Davis hit two three-run homers, Matt Garza limited San Diego to two hits in seven innings, and Milwaukee cruised at home.
GIBBONS, on the Jays’ momentum … “We’ve still got a couple of young guys but for the most part it’s a seasoned team”. Toronto and New York begin a key three-game series Friday in New York.
The rookie finished the inning, and the Twins, finally able to generate some offense after a week of futility, set out to stage a rally. They’re custom-made for that ballpark, the short right field wall. It’s going to start on the mound.
He gave us one play-of-the-year candidate back in April, scaling the huge left field wall at the Rogers Centre to rob the Rays of a home run. “It’s simple, but it’s not”.
Minnesota fell behind 9-3 after four innings Wednesday before scoring four unearned runs in the fifth. “To me, that’s why I play this game and I want to be on a team where that’s the way everyone plays this game because it’s all about winning”. There’s a time and a place. They’ve been on a pretty good outburst. We’re going to have to come out swinging the bats, try and match them. Blue Jays’ Bautista said, referring to the first warning issued by Wolf. “You’ll also get a feel for the speed of pitches when you’re up at the plate”.
Jokingly, David Price says he’s forgotten about his past two outings against the New York Yankees. Having me batting ninth, I can watch all the time. I’m like, ‘Really? Well, I probably won’t have a chance to get that’.

Alex Rodriguez had an RBI double and Justin Wilson (4-0) struck out three batters in the seventh inning to help the Yankees.
