Bautista homers, Blue Jay beat Yankees to avoid 3-game sweep

The ALDS games start on Thursday, October 8 and there will be at least one, possibly two days with four postseason games. An intriguing playoff potential series with the Houston Astros rounds out the home-stand, a team New York split four with in Houston earlier this year. He’s anxious that sending Hutchison to the Minors is going to hurt him mentally and possibly throw him off his game.

“We did what we had to do”, Alex Rodriguez said. The pinch-hit home run by Carlos Beltran that won the game coupled with the epic 12-pitch battle between Andrew Miller and Troy Tulowitzki may go down as the biggest win of the season when this is over.

Following the road trip, Hutchison will be back pitching at home against Detroit and the Orioles, a team against which he has had good success.

Just when you think he was done after being the goat the previous day, he comes back in grand style by hitting the game-tying home run against the Minnesota Twins that would send the game to extra innings, where the Yankees would go on to win. In those two starts, he will have to prove he has what it takes, that he deserves to start on the road. And for more than three years, Aaron Loup had seen regular duty out of the bullpen. But the Yankees couldn’t get Severino off the hook. “He was basically sitting there rotting, you know“. The pitching they’ve been getting lately should allow them to do that.

“You only can hope those guys take it the right way”, said Cecil.

“It’s been awesome, and we feel the support”.

The Jays said a roster move to fill Hutchison’s spot on the roster will be made Tuesday. And who’s to say Severino would not have hung the same sliders to Donaldson and Bautista, the ones that became an RBI single and a two-run homer, in the fourth inning anyway?

After celebrating the 30th anniversary of their 1985 AL East championship team, the Toronto Blue Jays picked up a big win to bolster their chances of a crown this season.

“We have a really good lineup”, Revere said. Pineda pitched on a rehab assignment with Double-A Trenton August. 16 and could be ready to return to the rotation.

Chris Narveson (1-0), who relieved starter David Phelps in the third, allowed just one hit and one run in 2-2/3 innings, striking out two. And that’s exactly what we’re seeing with the Blue Jays and how they are viewed around baseball.

“The Jays’ winning streak has helped 100 per cent”, said Frederico Munoz, bar manager at Milagro, a Mexican restaurant in downtown Toronto. Severino had little left to prove in the minor leagues.

Sometimes it’s important to remember that the other players get paid too. That would have to include live batting practice.

Ezequiel Carrera, Cliff Pennington, Dioner Navarro, Matt Hague and Chris Colabello give manager John Gibbons plenty of options late in games. “What does it tell me moving forward?”
