New Jays reliever Mark Lowe gets rocked by Royals
Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski said he told multiple teams Wednesday afternoon that the team would listen to offers for all its potential free agents – Price, Yoenis Cespedes, closer Joakim Soria and others – before Friday’s trade deadline. “We had to”.

Cespedes hit. 293 with 18 home runs with 61 RBIs in 102 games with the Tigers this season.
“What that does for your offence is it buys your offence time when they’re putting zeros up not to have to feel pressure to score”, Donaldson said. “You try and put good swings on the ball from both sides of the plate when you have to switch around during the game but it’s tough”.
“I’d hope it’d get to that point”, Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. “These guys are hotter than heck and their power is awesome”. Aaron Sanchez worked a scoreless eighth and Roberto Osuna pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for his sixth save of the season. Lowe has fanned 47 and walked 11 through 36.0 innings pitched.
While last-minute additions Revere and Lowe were still on their way, Price watched from the dugout as Toronto turned in a respectable performance against new Royals ace Johnny Cueto, making his debut after a trade from the Cincinnati Reds.
After acquiring Tulowitzki and reliever LaTroy Hawkins from Colorado and starter David Price from Detroit, the Blue Jays obtained right-hander Mark Lowe from Seattle and outfielder Ben Revere from Philadelphia ahead of Friday’s trade deadline.
Revere adds to this sudden transformation, giving the Jays another useful tool in the outfield where he’ll join regulars Kevin Pillar and Jose Bautista. Ian Desmond, of the Washington Nationals, was the last hitter take Davis deep on August 24, 2013.
It’s widely known just how good Price and Soria are at what they do. “That’s not even arguable. And when you add extra pieces like he did it started to really come together”. It was the first of his 323 starts for the Mariners in 11 seasons.
Donaldson’s 26th home run of the season into the second deck in left field was followed by Bautista’s first of the night to give Toronto a 5-1 lead. Yordano Ventura shoots for back to back victories when he faces the Blue Jays on Saturday.
Perhaps no two teams did more to improve their chances to make a deep postseason run in the week leading up to the trade deadline than the Toronto Blue Jays and Kansas City Royals.
Parra has played all three outfield positions and is a two-time Gold Glove victor.
“It’s great, I loved the fans”, said Revere. The Mariners picked up Rob Rasmussen, Nick Wells and Jake Brentz in return for the veteran reliever.
Toronto also recalled infielder Munenori Kawasaki from Triple-A Buffalo and optioned right-hander Ryan Tepera to Buffalo. The Royals have slipped a bit in recent days with three straight defeats after Friday’s 7-6′ eleven inning loss at Toronto. In parts of 10 seasons with Seattle, Texas, Los Angeles (AL) and Cleveland, he is 8-22 with a 3.80 ERA with 289 strikeouts.
With one out in the top of the first, Zobrist tagged a 3-1 Buehrle pitch for his seventh home run of the year, but first as a member of the Royals, to give Knasas City a 1-0 lead.

R.A. Dickey (5-10, 4.27 ERA), however, takes the hill in this finale looking to win three straight starts for the first time since September 2-13. I’ve also personally heard from dozens of people who have purchased tickets for Monday’s game against the Minnesota Twins just to see David Price throw pitches in a blue and white uniform.
