Raffy Lopez finally gets a start! Probably because he caught Tepesch in Buffalo. And Aoki!
Yeah, Pillar is hitting 5th. Tepesch is pitching. This seems like an easy Yankees win but you know...baseball!
Of Note:
Gibby: Steve Pearce had his knee drained last night, so were giving him a game to DH and getting Aoki in there. #Bluejays #Jays— Mike Wilner (@Wilnerness590) August 9, 2017
Miguel Montero took BP on field today. Says he's improving. Next step: running. #BlueJays don't expect him to miss much more than 10 days— Ben Nicholson-Smith (@bnicholsonsmith) August 9, 2017
#BlueJays aren't expecting Tulowitzki back this season, but Gibbons says ankle injury shouldn't linger into spring 2018— Ben Nicholson-Smith (@bnicholsonsmith) August 9, 2017
Tossed five in each of his two starts with Buffalo, good curve ball. Should be stretched enough for 90 pitches. #BlueJays https://t.co/iJW52uwV8C— Ben Wagner (@benwag247) August 9, 2017
Carlos Ramirez with an impressive Triple-A debut. Heavy fastball, nasty hook. Fanned four of six in two perfect innings. #bluejays #bisons— Ben Wagner (@benwag247) August 9, 2017
Rowdy Tellez is putting together his best offensive stretch. Sharp line drive contact over a 7G streak, 10-24. #bisons #bluejays— Ben Wagner (@benwag247) August 9, 2017

Gibby: On Martin's 1st inning bunt: "I think he was bunting for a hit. You think I would put that on?" #Bluejays #Jays— Mike Wilner (@Wilnerness590) August 9, 2017
