Not A Happy Canada Day For The Blue Jays

Francona said X-rays were negative but said Uribe may have lost a fingernail. Encarnacion has appealed the suspension, so the discipline will be held in abeyance until the appeal is heard.

Bumgarner (9-4) became the first starting pitcher in 40 years to intentionally hit for himself at an American League stadium.

In a series of posts to his Twitter account Saturday, Swisher said he plans to keep training every day and “evaluate my options for next season at the appropriate time”.

Blue Jays: INF Ryan Goins, one of two position players to pitch for Toronto on Friday, was placed on the 15-day DL with a sore right forearm. And always remember, what goes around comes around. Estrada told Sportsnet’s Shi Davidi and other reporters that he may not have pitched last Saturday had the Jays not been in desperate need of an innings-eater after Friday’s 19-inning marathon.

Tulowitzki, who has been around long enough that bobblehead days are no longer a novelty (this was No. 3 or 4 for him he figured), admitted it’s still special to come out and produce on a day he is being so honoured.

Carrera was originally called out by umpire D.J. Reyburn but the decision was overturned on review.

Jose Quintana allowed just two hits as he helped the Chicago White Sox to a 4-1 win over the Houston Astros, while Cole Hamels had no such luck for the Texas Rangers as he allowed five runs in just four-plus innings as the Minnesota Twins prevailed 5-4. The right-hander struck out four.

“That was very impressive”, said Francona. “That’s why I probably worry more about guys putting some stress on themselves”. “He’s been such a spark for us in so many ways”.

Kluber said he couldn’t make the ball go where he wanted it to go. “It all starts with fastball command”. It was tough. I gave it all I had today.

Blue Jays: LHP J.A. Happ (10-3, 3.70 ERA) gets the ball on Sunday.

Gorzelanny had not allowed a run in six previous appearances this season, but saw his ERA rise to 21.00 after allowing seven runs in one-third of an inning.

The Los Angeles Dodgers ran out 4-1 winners over the Colorado Rockies, the Seattle Mariners beat the Baltimore Orioles 9-4, the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Oakland Athletics 6-3 and the St. Louis Cardinals edged the Milwaukee Brewers 9-8.

McHugh allowed five hits and two runs while walking four with nine strikeouts in 52/3 innings before Hinch was ejected after arguing about pitches inside to Evan Gattis. He entered the game at third base in the sixth and moved to the mound in the seventh. “But I don’t know what’s going to happen”.

They were waiting for him in the eighth.

Blue Jays designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion was suspended for one game by Major League Baseball on Sunday and fined an undisclosed amount for making contact with an umpire. 262 with 22 home runs through the first 82 games. But I told them, ‘we just played a 19 inning game.

“I think it will get better, I don’t think it’s anything too serious”.

The Tribe bullpen allowed 12 earned runs, the most since they allowed 13 against the A’s on July 10, 2004.

Cleveland leftfielder Rajai Davis hit for the cycle with a single in the ninth inning, completing the full collection of hits that also included a homer in the first inning, a triple in the third and a double in the seventh.

Christian Yelich also finished with two RBIs.
