Price was due to be introduced on Friday afternoon but his arrival was delayed by a flat tire, a story that played out on Twitter with Blue Jays fans offering to rescue the stranded pitcher. “It was very impressive”. In three seasons with the Phillies, Revere appeared in 335 games hitting.
“With the trades that happened this week, I think what it gave us was more confidence in ourselves”, said Donaldson, who had four RBIs. That’s really tough. It’s mentally draining whenever you face a team like this because you constantly have to be in the game mentally because if not, we can put up runs real fast. R.A. Dickey takes the hill, and he’s 5-10 with a 4.27 ERA and 84 strikeouts this season. He struck out seven and did not factor in the decision. “Unfortunately we didn’t hold the lead there at the end”.

ARLINGTON, Texas – Texas third baseman Adrian Beltre and shortstop Elvis Andrus each hit two-run homers as the Rangers beat the Giants and Madison Bumgarner.
Although he was obviously pleased with his individual performance, Tulowitzki was happier that Toronto ended a small two-game skid. He’s the final piece to a lineup that already has potential to make history. The MLB-leading Cardinals bolstered their bullpen by picking up right-hander Jonathan Broxton and the Baltimore Orioles got outfielder Gerrardo Parra from Milwaukee in an effort to keep up with the busy Blue Jays.

With Johnny Cueto on the hill, the gameplan for the Royals was simple: get through six innings with a lead. It was the sixth time this year the Blue Jays hit back-to-back home runs. His only real blemish came in the first inning, when he gave up two runs on a double to Kendrys Morales. The safe call at first base withstood a challenge after a review of almost three minutes. Baustista followed that with a single of his own. On to second went Tulowitzki, and Donaldson immediately drove the next pitch to left centre field to plate him. Donaldson doubled to center, Tulowitzki scored. There were runners at the corners after second baseman Ryan Goins forced Pillar at second.
