Despite playing a road game, the Canadian-born Paxton received a standing ovation from Toronto fans.
“We expect to have success at the plate, we feel we have quality hitters that are capable of doing that”, said Donaldson of the Jays’ late inning uprising.
Nicasio shrugged it off and said it would come back. Fastball’s obviously my best pitch. “It was just – it was our night”.
“We had a chance to get this one tonight”, Servais said.
Blue Jays: Toronto acquired INF Gio Urshela from Cleveland for a player to be named later or cash. “He goes from striking out 16 in seven innings to his next time he throws a no-hitter”.
Also on his right forearm – his non-throwing arm – Paxton has a tattoo of a big maple leaf. He is also the only pitcher on the team right now that can throw a fastball over 90 miles per hour. The alert came in at 6:17 p.m, and looking back at my history, it seems I missed one at 6:05 p.m. that said he’d made it through seven innings. “It’s just a bad game”. Pillar was thrown out at second on the play. It was the only out that Nicasio would get.
Mariners: RHP Dan Altavilla (shoulder) threw a bullpen at Double-A Arkansas on Tuesday and is expected to begin a rehab assignment there Thursday. You can’t question the stuff, it’s still really good.
Ken Giles pitched a flawless ninth for his fifth save and second in two days. “Days like this happen”. He would do so without giving up a hit, not to mention tossing only 99 pitches. Aaron Altherr, Jorge Alfaro and Carlos Santana each ripped a solo home run for the Phillies, who have won the first two games in this four-game series. I don’t need to be constantly updated on everything that’s happening across a host of leagues. “You can’t only pitch with a fastball”.
Four runs in what is supposed to be a lockdown inning is far from ideal. Toronto can’t expect to outscore teams every night: the rotation has to step up and contribute.
In 37.1 innings, Stroman has surrendered 46 hits, 32 strikeouts, and 18 walks on the season, while opponents are hitting.299 against him.
Starling Marte and Josh Bell singled off Jones (2-1), Elias Diaz had a two-run double and Moran homered.
The Seattle Mariners’ pitcher got a big honor in his hometown of Ladner, British Columbia, a coastal community south of Vancouver. In fact, with those 99 pitches, it was just the 12th no-hitter since 1988 – when we first have pitch data – with fewer than 100 pitches, out of the 75 individual no-hitters thrown.
Cubs 4, Marlins 3: Kris Bryant scored the winning run in the eighth inning, leading host Chicago to a win over Miami.
Judge untied the game by lacing a 1-1 slider to left field, scoring Neil Walker, who started the rally with a double off Heath Hembree (2-1). At just 86 miles per hour, Hernandez wasn’t going to miss that kind of gift. Hernandez answered with a leadoff blast into the second deck in center in the fourth, his sixth.
