Don't be surprised if all the Baltimore Orioles are soon swinging the same style of bat used by rookie Trey Mancini.
Mancini connected twice for the second time in three games. A potentially risky collision was avoided when the bat hit the final panel of safety screen in front of the on-field seats behind home plate.
The AL ERA leader last season, Sanchez allowed five runs and seven hits, including three home runs, in a loss to Baltimore on Friday.
It was Toronto's first walkoff homer since former Jays slugger Edwin Encarnacion burned the Orioles on June 10 of a year ago. "To make your mark in any way is really neat".
Slumping Machado gets going: Machado entered his final at bat of the afternoon with just two hits in his last 24 at bats before going the opposite way on a 1-0 offering from Dermody that hit off the right field foul pole for a two-run homer. "I need to get this thing knocked out". "The important part is just making sure that whenever I do come back, it's ready, and just go from there".
Announced attendance was 39,547 and the game took three hours 18 minutes to play. The Blue Jays' 28 runs are the fewest in the majors. "It's very aggravating. Very frustrating". I feel like we battled as a team, but I felt good out there and hopefully continue that.
Jonathan Schoop (solo) and J.J. Hardy (two-run) each had fifth-inning blasts and in the sixth, Chris Davis launched a rocket deep over the centre-field fence.
This loss was perhaps especially painful given how Happ was rolling prior to hearing a "pop" in his elbow in the fourth inning.

For Miami to reach the postseason - a near-impossibility after its 11-30 start - either IN or Chicago must lose. James was listed as having a right calf strain, and Irving has soreness in his surgically repaired left knee.
But they got just enough on Saturday.
Happ will undergo an MRI on Monday, an off day. In to replace the southpaw was Joe Biagini, who surrendered one hit while retiring two batters.
Bundy (2-1) gave up five hits and struck out six.
"He's too good a hitter for that to last", said Gibbons, who said at spring training that he wouldn't be surprised to see Travis win a batting title some year. "He's so much more than a thrower".
"Honestly, it was the way Salty (Jarrod Saltalamacchia) called the game", said Estrada, when asked what was working for him against the O's. He pitched seven innings and was charged with only one earned run. And Josh Donaldson missed his third straight game with a calf strain that has him languishing to the disabled list. The game was a pitchers' duel which saw Toronto draw first blood in the bottom of the 7th before Baltimore tied it in the top of the 9th and had a response in the bottom half of the inning for the win. Britton said there now are no plans to undergo an MRI. "I still believe our bats will get going".
Orioles: RHP Alex Asher will be promoted from Triple-A to face Toronto as Baltimore needs a fifth starter for the first time.
In each of Sale's three starts the Red Sox have done very little offensively, collecting only three total runs.
