Blue Jays look for redemption after last night’s loss to Yankees

This is what you might call a sobering experience. “We hit some home runs in New York to win the games, Beltran hit it tonight to win it”. That was the end of Price’s night.

NEW JAYS OUTFIELDER BEN REVERE, remarking on the Jays’ offence after his three-hit night … It didn’t work out. You don’t see them joking around in the dugout or doing any stupid celebrations on the field.

Gibbons could have taken Price out after seven innings and 100 pitches. The Cubs’ winning streak is their longest since 2011.

On Friday, Miller yielded a walk, a ground single and a wild pitch with one out.

“Two of the best players in baseball”, Gibbons said. “He’s one of those class guys that does a lot of good things for people”. They’re swinging the bat well. “That was a great, great at-bat”. “That’s everything I’ve got for an inning”. A-Rod lined out to Pillar in centre, moving Ryan up to third.

With Toronto just a hit away from a walk-off victory, the standing crowd of 46,689 fans had found its voice again – and then some.

The Jays didn’t get a hit off Yankees starter Ivan Nova until the third inning when they scored three times.

Between now and the start of the playoffs Toronto will play the Yankees 10 more times. The Yankees improve to 63-51 and the Blue Jays fall to 64-53.

After a Josh Donaldson single, Jose Bautista ripped a line drive double, scoring Tulowitzki and extending the Blue Jays lead to 2-0. Donaldson over-ran third base, but eluded the tag as he dove back in. Designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion lifted a sacrifice fly to center.

Astros 5, Tigers 1: Dallas Keuchel struck out eight in seven solid innings and Jed Lowrie powered the offense with a two-RBI double to lead Houston to a win over Detroit.

Tanaka said through a translator he was “good to go”. Would the slow McCann have scored if the ball had stayed in the park? Goins raced in, made a bare-handed grab and threw out Young by an eyelash to end the inning.

Even though the Blue Jays have climbed from fourth to first in the American League East over the course of the streak, Buehrle remains cautious.

That run ended Buehrle’s day.

Jays super-fan Arron Barberian – who took his sixday-old daughter, Maddy, to the team’s 1999 home opener, because his wife had to duck into the office for a bit – couldn’t be happier about the product on the field. “We’re confident now. We’re on a nice little roll and it means something“. “I don’t think that will be a problem at all”.

“Hopefully its gives us confidence, ‘ manager Joe Girardi said”. A loss like this can definitely bring your team closer whenever it happens like that. “I was focused on going deep in the game”.

That’s what makes Barfield believe these Blue Jays can make a run, plus the perspective of knowing they haven’t accomplished anything yet.

David Price had given him seven shutout innings.

The Blue Jays, who recently swept a three-game set at Yankee Stadium, including posting shutouts in the last two, continued to stifle the Yankees’ bats on Friday.

The St. Louis Cardinals have acquired reliever Jonathan Broxton from the Milwaukee Brewers, supplementing their bullpen with another veteran.

Miller has to feel good coming up with the huge strikeout against the best hitter in the Jays’ lineup. Carlos Beltran had other plans.

“In my mind, I’m thinking, I was late, so he might try to throw another one”, Beltran said.
