Blue Jays Spoil Rays Comeback With Four-Run Ninth

When Willy Adames went deep off Jays reliever Tim Mayza in the bottom of the eighth inning to tie the game at three runs each, it seemed like deja vu for the Blue Jays, who saw the Rays launch comeback wins in both of the first two games of their three game series.

Travis Shaw flipped the script for the Blue Jays, taking back the lead in the top of the ninth inning with a blast off Rays reliever Brendan McKay before Cavan Biggio would add some important insurance runs with a three-run shot off Diego Castillo, his second home run of the game.

When it was all said and done, the Blue Jays managed to survive another comeback scare and salvage the final game of their three game series against the Rays. The Blue Jays get a much needed day off on Monday before they head to Fenway Park to take on the Boston Red Sox for a three game series that kicks off on Tuesday evening.

Danny Jansen has been swinging a hot bat for the Blue Jays, homering four times in his last three games. The Blue Jays will need their bullpen to perform better than they did in their series against the Rays, as the Red Sox posses a much more potent lineup. Luckily for the Blue Jays, the Red Sox lineup features less left-handed hitters, setting up for a better matchup. Unfortunately for the Jays, they will be forced to face Red Sox ace Chris Sale in the middle game of the three game series. Sale has been off a red-hot start to the new season, going 5-0 with a 2.86 ERA.

Shoemaker Twirls Complete Game As Jays Rout Red Sox

Matt Shoemaker took some pressure off a Blue Jays bullpen that got roughed up this past weekend with a complete game, three-hit performance against the Boston Red Sox. Shoemaker went the distance for the first time this season, surrendering two runs while striking out five en route to his third win of the season.

Red Sox starter Nathan Eovaldi didn't have the same luck, as the Blue Jays chased the hard throwing righty from the ballgame before the end of the third inning. Eovaldi would be charged with six runs on eight hits in just 2 2/3 innings of work, raising his season ERA to a concerning 10.42.

Catcher Danny Jansen continued swinging a hot bat at the plate for the Blue Jays, swatting his fourth home run of the season while driving in five runs. Jansen's impressive 3-for-4 performance at the plate raised his batting average to a team-high .386.

The Blue Jays will look to keep the bats going tomorrow night as they face Red Sox ace Chris Sale in the middle game of the three game set.

Blue Jays Chase Sale Early, Pick Up Third Straight Win

For the second night in a row, the Toronto Blue Jays chased a Boston Red Sox starting pitcher from the ballgame in the early innings. Last night it was Nathan Eovaldi, but this night Chris Sale was the victim of an early ambush by the Blue Jays' offence. Sale would fail to make it out of the second inning, surrendering five runs on seven hits capped off by a two-run triple off the bat of Lourdes Gurriel Jr..

Bo Bichette led the offence for the Blue Jays, going 4-for-5 at the plate with a double, two runs scored and one RBI. Jays starter Trent Thornton rebounded from a tough outing last time, surrendering four runs in 5 2/3 innings of work. Thornton flashed his swing-and-miss stuff all night long, picking up nine strikeouts.

The Red Sox try to avoid their first sweep of the season tomorrow night as they send Collin McHugh to the mound in an attempt to slow down a red-hot Blue Jays lineup.

Grichuk's Two Homers Help Jays Sweep Red Sox

The Toronto Blue Jays completed a sweep of the Boston Red Sox on Thursday night at Fenway Park with a narrow 4-3 victory on the road. Randal Grichuk broke out of his slump at the plate by launching two home runs to help the Jays squeeze past the Red Sox.

Alex Verdugo launched a three-run blast in the fourth inning. The home run would represent the only runs that the Red Sox would be able to score as Blue Jays starter Chase Anderson would settle down and go 5 1/3 innings with seven strikeouts. Grichuk would smack a solo homer in the fifth inning to tie the ballgame at 3-3, and added his second solo homer of the game in the top of the ninth inning to give the Jays a one-run lead.

The Blue Jays worked Red Sox starter Collin McHugh hard to begin the ballgame, leading to the veteran righty getting the hook after just three innings. McHugh needed 96 pitches to get through his three innings of work, but was able to hold the Blue Jays to just two runs at the time. The Blue Jays showed excellent patience at the plate all night long, racking up eight free passes - Lourdes Gurriel Jr. three walks while Travis Shaw picked up another four.

The win gives the Blue Jays possession of first place in the American League East, with a 0.5 game lead following the New York Yankees' 9-3 loss against the Detroit Tigers. The Blue Jays look to keep things rolling as they continue their road trip tomorrow night in Baltimore as they take on the AL East-worst Baltimore Orioles.

The Blue Jays are winners of their last four, and are fresh off an impressive sweep of the Boston Red Sox. That doesn't bode well for the Orioles, who have struggled to get on base all season long. The Orioles' pitching hasn't done them any favours, with the pitching staff posting a combined ERA of 5.37. Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen comes into the series swinging one of the hottest bats in the game, pushing his season batting average to .379 with a power surge (5 home runs). The Blue Jays look to take advantage of a good matchup as they try to hold their spot atop the AL East standings.

Ryu Exits Early As Jays Pick Up Costly Victory Over Orioles

The Toronto Blue Jays picked up their fifth straight win with a narrow 2-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Friday night, but it came at a cost. Blue Jays starter Hyun-Jin Ryu left the game in the second inning after experiencing discomfort in the elbow area. Ryu exited his previous start against the Tampa Bay Rays with elbow tightness. The early exit of the Blue Jays ace is alarming to say the least, but put pressure on the Blue Jays bullpen.

Thomas Pannone answered the call for Charlie Montoyo, turning in 6 1/3 stellar innings of work out of the bullpen following Ryu's early exit. Pannone, who was credited with a no-decision, allowed just one unearned run on two hits with six strikeouts. The Orioles scored their only run of the game off Pannone in the seventh inning when Derek Fisher misplayed a Trey Mancini fly ball in left field. Mancini would end up on third, and would eventually score on a Renato Nunez sac fly.

The Blue Jays would take a one-run lead in the top of the ninth inning on a Randal Grichuk RBI single to set the table for closer Ken Giles to pick up his eighth save of the season. The Blue Jays' only other run in the ballgame came way back in the second inning when Rowdy Tellez went deep for his fourth homer of the season.

The Blue Jays continue their series tomorrow afternoon against the Orioles as they shoot for their sixth straight victory.

Blue Jays Place Ryu On 15-Day Injured List

In some unfortunate news, the Toronto Blue Jays announced that they have placed ace Hyun-Jin Ryu on the 15-day injured list. Ryu left his start during last night's game against the Baltimore Orioles after just 1 1/3 innings of work with elbow discomfort. Ryu, who has been battling elbow discomfort for a majority of the season, has now officially been diagnosed with a sprained elbow ligament. That's obviously reason for concern for the Blue Jays, who are expected to take a slow and precautionary approach to Ryu's recovery.

The Blue Jays announced that they have purchased the contract of and recalled left handed reliever Marc Rzepczynski from Triple-A Buffalo. With fellow left handed reliever Thomas Pannone pitching 6 1/3 innings in last night's win over the Orioles, Rzepczynski can be expected to eat some of the lefthanded Pannone's innings while he rests up.

To make room for Rzepczynski on the 40-man roster, the Blue Jays announced that they have placed infielder Santiago Espinal on outright waivers. Espinal had been playing at the Double-A level with the New Hampshire Fisher Cats.
