Sanchez suspended three games, Gibbons one after ugly Jays-Royals game

“Ive never experienced anything like that.”. “We’ll meet again later and if you do that with me, you’ll see what I’m about.” he tweeted.

Even though the Twins didn’t stop their scoring drought, third baseman Trevor Plouffe said the team remains confident. “So whatever happens, I’ll let the masterminds do what they do and I’ll just enjoy the ride”.

Hughes has given up two home runs in eight of 21 starts this season. Colorado’s Kyle Kendrick has surrendered 26.

Playing in the same division with the Yankees and Red Sox, the Blue Jays are largely overlooked. “They’re a tough group to navigate”.

The Blue Jays said infielder Danny Valencia, who was designated for assignment Saturday, had been claimed by Oakland.

“I think they’re used to pushing people around”, Toronto pitcher R. A. Dickey said of the Royals.

“I probably won’t hear about it unless my agent really feels that I need to hear about. Played with good players, not this many of them”. The loss snapped a string of six straight winning decisions for Hughes.

A two-run triple by Beltre in the first inning put Texas ahead to stay at 3-2.

“The only other time I’ve been to a Jays game where it felt anything close to that was when I went to the SkyDome for Game 6 of the 1992 World Series versus Atlanta”, Dias said Tuesday. We all know how my temperament can be and I am getting much better as a person.

With the game tied at 1-1, Tulowitzki led off the fifth with a single and Donaldson followed with his 27th homer of the season, a drive to right, as the Blue Jays took a two-run lead. Both of the batters he walked came into score so he also allowed two earned runs.

It was the climax of a game-long spat that began when the Royals’ Edinson Volquez hit Josh Donaldson on the left shoulder in the first.

Rookie Zack Godley pitched six scoreless innings to continue a stellar start, and Arizona homered four times.

Despite having been previously ejected from the game, Gibbons returned to the field to defend Sanchez.

Tulowitzki made it 2-0 with a leadoff shot in the third, his second since joining Toronto. He had a double in the second and a single in the third before his ninth homer of the season made it 12-7. Twins center fielder Aaron Hicks and catcher Kurt Suzuki struck out. On Monday, Santana started for the Twins against Price, who is making almost $20 million this year, and a Jays lineup that included a multitude of additional millions for such recently added stars as Tulowitzki, Donaldson and Russell Martin.

Although their team won the match, Blue Jays right fielder Jose Bautista felt that the Toronto athletes had been wronged on Sunday by home-plate umpire Jim Wolf.

Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Aaron Sanchez reacts after being ejected from a baseball game against the Kansas City Royals for throwing at Royals batter Alcides Escobar in the eighth inning in Toronto, Sunday, August 2, 2015. Sanchez will be active until his case is settled with the league.

Molitor showed he hasn’t lost his sense of humor despite Minnesota’s recent offensive struggles.

“We were upset about that”, Hunter said of the fourth inning.
