Bautista homers, streaking Blue Jays win 9th straight, beat Athletics 4

St. Louis is 72-40 overall, at 32 over. In 72 games for the Diamondbacks this season, he was batting.

Interestingly, the Blue Jays decided to stop their white panel caps right in the middle of the 1993 season after the team had a five-game losing streak.

The Cubs, meanwhile, continue to roll. Winners of eight in a row, Toronto has only lost once since acquiring star shortstop Troy Tulowitzki.

First baseman Justin Smoak hit an RBI double to left.

The 24-year-old right-hander was locked in Tuesday night, giving up just two earned runs on four hits through seven-plus innings to lead the Toronto Blue Jays to their ninth straight victory, 4-2 over the Oakland Athletics.

Blue Jays starting pitchers have held the opposition to three earned runs or fewer in 15 consecutive games. However, there are seven games against the last-place Indians on the horizon, plus a series against the Braves before the month ends with a series against the Red Sox.

Last year, in two starts, Dickey had a win, a 1.42 ERA and a 0.947 WHIP in 12 2/3 innings of work.

Roberto Osuna pitched the ninth for his 11th save. In his last 10 starts dating back to June 16, Harvey is 5-3 with a 1.45 ERA.

But against the A’s, he found his groove, sailing through seven and leaving to a standing ovation after allowing an infield hit to open the eighth.

Harvey (11-7) was dominant for a fourth straight start. He struck out four. He was lifted for pinch-hitter Curtis Granderson with the bases loaded in the eighth. This time Logan walked Granderson, who did not start against Chris Rusin (3-5), a lefty.

The right-hander was at the team’s facility in Florida on Tuesday continuing his rehab from a torn ACL, where he went through his first mound session. Toronto has homered in 10 consecutive games and 22 of 23 since the All-Star break. Suzuki scored easily and the Twins were able to smile and dance. 265 with 43 home runs and 157 runs batted in. RHP Aaron Brooks (1-0, 2.41 ERA) takes the hill for the A’s. The Blue Jays are a power hitting team with 153 home runs, one of the highest totals in the Major League Baseball.

The Rays won their third straight and moved above.

It’s the only home run he’s allowed in 36 1-3 innings since the Midsummer Classic after being tagged for 17 in 114 2-3 innings over his first 18.

Texiera’s exchange with a fan came on the same day another Yankees fan threw a Jose Bautista home run back onto the field and hit Brett Gardner right in the head.

Toronto Blue Jays home game tickets are now fetching absurd prices on the resale market thanks to a flurry of blockbuster trades and the team riding an eight-game winning streak. Ramirez (9-4) won for the first time in five starts since July 10.

That certainly wasn’t the worst thing we’ve ever seen a fan do to get his hands on a souvenir baseball. It’s not possible for the offense to sustain that level of production, but that doesn’t mean the Yankees will only score one run every 28 innings for the rest of the season. Lawrie, in his first appearance at Rogers Centre since the off-season trade, was 0 for 4 with two strikeouts.
