Blue Jays 3, Twins 1
“When you’ve got a mix of those pitches, you can get those kind of performances”.
Worth’s debut surpassed Toronto’s residence opener ($78) towards the Tampa Bay Rays as costliest recreation of the Blue Jays’ season.
In four games this month the Twins offense has scored six runs, two of them coming off wild pitches and managed just 15 hits.
Before the game Twins manager Paul Molitor, called a team meeting to check the pulse of the team.
Over the past few days, and particularly on the weekend, “our daily sales volumes (tickets we sell on a day-to-day to basis for all future games) were more than quadruple what we normally sell”, Jason Diplock, the Jays vice-president of ticket sales and service, said in an email.
I think they did the right thing. “As long as we win and keep this going that’s all that matters”. The loss snapped a string of six straight winning decisions for Hughes.
For the Yankees, the week opened up strong outscoring the Texas Rangers 27-7 over their first two games of the series including a 21 run out pour in game two of the four game series. They’re a tough group to navigate. I was missing over the plate a lot with my cutter and my fastball. The Blue Jays hope that Price will have great rest of the season, and be their number 1 that the Blue Jays have needed for years.
Back-to-back doubles by Edwin Encarnacion and Dioner Navarro, who has been on the trade market since Russell Martin signed, gave the Jays a third run and a cushion to ride the rest of the way home. Toronto got on the scoreboard right away as its second batter, Josh Donaldson, belted a 437-foot solo shot to left-centre field. The relievers were close to ideal, so let’s also give JOD honours to Mark Lowe, Aaron Sanchez and Roberto Osuna who combined for a. 189 WPA.
Sanchez was used in Tuesday’s victory, pitching a ideal eighth inning to help preserve the Blue Jays win. Donaldson homered to left on a 2-2 count. Madson hit Troy Tulowitzki in the seventh.
1 run, 1 hit, 0 errors, 0 left on. “They find themselves shocked with my actions and I am very regretful”. A flurry of trades saw many players and prospects switch organizations, switching fortunes in the short and long-term in the process.
Even though the Twins didn’t stop their scoring drought, third baseman Trevor Plouffe said the team remains confident. Estrada loaded the bases and Hunter’s sacrifice fly to deep right field brought in Brian Dozier.
Tulowiztki and Josh Donaldson both hit home runs early in the Blue Jays’ 3-1 win over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday as Toronto added to its lead in the American League wild-card race.
TORONTO (AP) – Toronto pitcher Aaron Sanchez was suspended for three games and manager John Gibbons for one for their roles in Sunday’s brawling game between the Blue Jays and Kansas City Royals. Benches cleared, but no punches were thrown. Sanchez will be active until his case is settled with the league.
Minnesota will send Tyler Duffey to the mound on Wednesday for his major league debut against Toronto right-hander Drew Hutchinson.
