Jays beat Yanks to avoid sweep

Their stellar bullpen is what has saved them this year. Since then, the offence has waned. 324 – for his entire career. The Yankees did take the series, winning two out of the three games.

“He was due for some run support”, manager John Gibbons said.

In every case, those players are important for their defence, of course.

It also ignores a few very valid things, one being the fact that Tulowitzki has still put up a. 333 on-base percentage as a Blue Jay, which is better than anyone else on the team save for The Gauntlet (Jose Bautista, Josh Donaldson and Edwin Encarnacion) and Chris Colabello.

“I just wore it. Didn’t even turn around”, he said. “I’m a competitor. You don’t want to go out there and not succeed”. Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below. “The moral of the story is I didn’t get my job done, and it cost us a win”.

The Blue Jays are flying in the face of age-old baseball wisdom, putting together a batting order that actually results in their best hitters getting the most opportunities.

With an uncanny combination of power and speed, the Toronto Blue Jays finished off a four-game sweep of the Minnesota Twins and are streaking into Yankee Stadium as the hottest team in baseball. Tulowitzki does not use unfamiliarity as an excuse.

“I definitely did not see that coming”, Couture said. Or vice versa: you do poorly against the knuckleballer and hit the next guy. “I’ve took possion of complicated chief, for that reason it’s all good”. “Hopefully, I get some results soon”. According to oddsmakers from online sports book GT Bets, the Blue Jays are -124 money line favorites for today’s game while the total is sitting at 8 runs.

5th inning: Brian McCann leads off, is hit with a pitch, and is subsequently erased via a double play.

Dickey’s ERA since the break is 1.49.

Drew Hutchison, no doubt, is not a happy camper. Adding an ace was icing. David Price is scheduled to make the start Friday night.

The Jays’ next stop is Philadelphia after they dropped two of three to the Yankees on the weekend.

We’ll get you fed with a healthy dose of Toronto Blue Jays news as the regular season winds down.

This AL East race isn’t close to over yet, and there are plenty more chapters yet to be written between these two teams before it finally is. Both boast firepower. While their games have often been lowscoring, home runs have often decided the issue.

On an agitating afternoon for the Yankees, Brett Gardner slammed down his helmet with two hands after grounding out with a runner on second to end the third. No, he said. Teams that meet this often can keep no secrets. The Blue Jays or the Yankees?

Hutchison is 12-2 in 24 starts this season, but has been inconsistent, especially on the road, and has a 5.06 earned-run average.

Hutchison, who made his Jays debut in April of 2012, has been jettisoned from the rotation for this road trip, which lasts until Aug. 28. In other words, the enlightenment-and the move to a four-man rotation-may be temporary. And since Hutchison cannot be recalled for 10 days, it will allow the Jays to have a deeper bench.

Toronto begins a two-game series in Philadelphia on Tuesday.

On Sunday, Hutchison picked up his 12th win of the season with a top-notch effort against the Yankees where, over 6.2 innings, he allowed one run on three hits. He gave up three singles and three walks, striking out six. He joined the Jays organization late last season and has been a hitting machine since then. LHP Aaron Loup was optioned to triple-A Buffalo after the game.
