Orioles: RHP Chris Tillman (shoulder) felt good after a bullpen session in Florida and will make a 45-pitch rehab start at Double-A Bowie on Monday. With Ryan Tepera on the mound for the Jays, Mark Trumbo singled and Chris Davis walked before Mancini drove a sinker into the seats in left.
"It's been something that's kind of off and on, we don't really know when it comes, how it comes, why it's coming", said Sanchez prior to Sunday afternoon's game against the Baltimore Orioles at the Rogers Centre. Sunday's series of demoralizing events included a lopsided loss, this time 11-4 to the visiting Baltimore Orioles, who took three of four this weekend in the Big Smoke. We now look for a new selection, with Donaldson on the disabled list and numerous other hitters continuing their, to put it nicely, uninteresting slides.
Orioles manager Buck Showalter had plenty of praise for Bundy after his first start.
Toronto starter J.A. Happ (0-3) left the game with what the club said was a sore left elbow in the fifth inning after throwing ball one to Orioles center fielder Adam Jones.
The Blue Jays have put star third baseman Josh Donaldson on the 10-day disabled list with a right calf injury.
"I've got a little bit of history with him", Britton said. Once again, however, one hitter has hit noticeably better than the rest this week, with six hits, two walks and a desperately needed walk-off home run - Kendrys Morales.
Donaldson has been the single beacon of hope in a struggling Toronto lineup so far this season.
United broke its contract with frequent fliers
He said his client was in a "secure location" because he has been hounded by media, but that he would speak at a future date. It also should be noted that the incident that happened on United flight 3411 plane was not a simple case of overbooking.
WASHINGTON - Cesar Hernandez hit a tiebreaking, two-run homer off Joe Blanton in the eighth inning, and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Washington Nationals 4-2 Saturday to stop a four-game losing streak.
Both of Mancini's homers on Sunday were tape-measure shots.
Raisel Iglesias (1-0) allowed one run in two innings as manager Bryan Price used five relievers after Finnegan's early departure. One of the best finesse pitchers in the game, Estrada allowed runners to get on base in five of the seven innings he pitched, but was able to shut the door on the hard-hitting Orioles. Jonathan Schoop went 1 for 3 with a double and a sac fly RBI which ended up being all the scoring the O's would do in the loss. He worked a full count before striking out to end the game.
Home plate umpire Dale Scott sustained a concussion after taking a foul tip off the facemask in the eighth inning.
"It's not a time you get external help", said Shapiro.
Following a lengthy delay as medical officials attended to crew chief Scott, second base ump Brian Knight took over home-plate duties. I still believe our bats are going to get going.
And that was the latest day in this ongoing tale of the Toronto Blue Jays and the awful, horrible, no good, very bad start to the season.
