Tulowitzki was in the starting lineup for Saturday’s game against the Orioles.

Jimenez was merely the latest in a series of pitchers who have struggled against the hard-hitting Blue Jays recently.
Speaking to reporters for the first time since he broke a bone in his left hand while swinging in a game on June 10, Cervelli said expects to get the soft cast removed Monday. The last of those losses came in a 13-3 drubbing by the Blue Jays in Friday’s series opener when starter Mike Wright failed to make it out of the fourth inning. “They hit them both”.
Saunders also set a Blue Jays record for most RBIs in a game by a Canadian.
A game below.500 on the morning of July 29, the Blue Jays went 43-18 (.705) over the remainder of the season, scoring 5.9 runs per game over those final 61 contests, and surging from fourth place in the AL East to a permanent residence atop the division in the first 23 of those games.
Carlos Beltran had three hits, including a two-run homer in the first inning and Chase Headley reached base four times as the Yankees won for the second time in as many nights against the Twins. He’s using the whole field too. Wright was done soon after, but Donaldson greeted reliever Jimenez with a two-run triple and – after a walk – Saunders struck again to the opposite field, lofting a fly ball just beyond the fence in left for his 14th home run of the year.NOTES: Blue Jays RF Jose Bautista was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a sprained left big toe.
Diamondbacks 10, Phillies 2 – Peter O’Brien and Yasmany Tomas each hit two of Arizona’s six home runs to lead the Diamondbacks in Philadelphia.
Since May 1st, Bautista has hit only seven home runs, with a.219 and a.411 slugging percentage. It was the 521st homer for Ortiz, tying him with former Red Sox great Ted Williams, Willie McCovey and Frank Thomas for 19th on the career list. “He gives them some real protection for those guys”. We got the win.
“We’re going to be short somewhere, regardless”, Showalter said. It’s okay, though, we’re going to do the heavy lifting for you each morning, and find the things you need to see from within the SB Nation baseball network, as well as from elsewhere.
Suspended Blue Jays first baseman Chris Colabello has been working out and playing in extended spring training games at the team’s Dunedin complex over the last several weeks. That’s just a fact. Hamels (7-1) allowed 3 hits while striking out 6 and walking 3.
After Saunders completed the ‘hat trick, ‘ Blue Jays fans along the third base line tossed their hats onto the field in tribute to him.
Indians 3, White Sox 2 • Carlos Santana hit a leadoff homer in the bottom of the ninth as Cleveland snapped a three-game skid. The 41-year-old fell to 2-7 lifetime against the Orioles, including 0-5 with the Blue Jays.
Ryan Flaherty homered for Baltimore in the ninth.

Gibbons says the Blue Jays have yet to discuss what they’ll do with Colabello once he’s served his suspension. Harvey was coming off three excellent starts after a awful beginning of the season, but Friday’s start leaves the right-hander with a 4.76 ERA and more questions than answers. Miami’s Giancarlo Stanton had a two-run single in the seventh for his first multiple-RBI game since May 6.
