Check out the sights, the sounds and the smells, watch a little baseball and soak up the experience.
Swanson took a pitch from Danny Barnes over the wall in centre field for his third homer of the season giving the Braves a 6-5 lead. However, this will go against the Jays starters strengths as they rely on sinkers, curves, change ups and four-seam fastballs.
Last night's victory was big not only because it got the offense going but because Colon was able to last five innings and keep his team close. He said he kept the Blue Jays off balance by relying on off-speed pitches earlier and more often. But instead of a routine out, the pitcher's throw to second was too high and everyone was safe.
Freeman headed to the clubhouse instead of first base, with no immediate word on the seriousness of the injury.
"You could even see it from left field", Kemp said.
Steven Souza Jr slugged a three-run homer to cap a seven-run Tampa Bay ninth inning, and Matt Andriese held Boston to two runs at Fenway Park.
How bad was it?
Coming into the 2017 season, a back end of the Blue Jays bullpen that consisted of Roberto Osuna, Joe Biagini, and Jason Grilli looked like the one piece of the reliever puzzle that need not be anxious about.
Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Ryan Tepera (52) delivers a pitch against the Atlanta Braves during eighth inning interleague baseball action in Toronto, Tuesday, May 16, 2017. While he had a rough start to the 2016 season in Atlanta, Jason Grilli became a shutdown king in Toronto. "Like I said, the team puts up six runs for you, I think you should come out of the game with a W".
Jeremy Corbyn Says A Labour Government Wouldn't "Hold Hands" With Donald Trump
A third poll for YouGov published on Saturday puts Labour on 31 per cent, with the Conservatives 18 points ahead on 59 per cent. Corbyn said that he realized that military action may be necessary "as a last resort", but vowed to focus on defusing tensions.
Freeman exited the game right away after slowly walking toward the dugout where he met manager Brian Snitker and trainer Jim Lovell.
Biagini was basically the victim of his own trouble - the two walks and an error.
Gibbons was hoping Biagini might have some success based on the progress of his changeup. "Those guys in the middle, we had a tough time with them". Today a lot of them were accidental and they were getting hit. Travis reached first on an infield hit and took second on Swanson's throwing error.
The Jays attempt at a rally began in earnest in the fourth when Justin Smoak rocked a two-run homer to get the Jays on the board. The first pick for the Blue Jays was at #16, and they chose 3rd baseman Kevin Ahrens, who now plays in the Independent Atlantic League. Maile's first hit broke an 0-for-22 stretch at the plate and in his second, he scored ...
And Travis had three hits, including two doubles.
The Braves missed out on their three-game sweep of the Miami Marlins with a 3-1 loss as knuckleballer R.A. Dickey, a member of the Blue Jays' rotation for the previous four seasons, allowed a three-run, pinch-hit home run in the seventh inning to Tyler Moore. With Thursday being the last chance for retribution, shall we expect some fireworks, especially the way things unfolded late in this one?
It was Biagnin's turn at the plate that had him anxious. Gibbons said of the bat flip. "I didn't think he had his good curveball, which is kind of vital to him".
Bautista, Tulowitzki and Donaldson have combined this season for a +0.3 WAR in the team's first 38 games. "He has great stuff", said the knuckleballer. "I guaranteed they see it now".
