The Jays take their Tampa bruises into Detroit trying to get back into series winning ways. After Detroit the Jays head to the Bronx for four games so it is time to get back in sync.

Nolan Perry had what is possibly his best ever pro start on Thursday striking out ten in five innings. Vancouver won thanks to Perry and Carter Cunningham's bat. Buffalo also had some good pitching and they won. New Hampshire were rained out while the two bottom teams lost.

New Hampshire were the only winners on Wednesday. Victor Arias had a big game which included a home run and a triple. Jay Harry assisted him with the offense. In Vancouver Johnny King pitched well but had no offensive support.

You gotta have no illusions. Just keep going your way, looking over your shoulder. The affiliates won three of four on Tuesday with Dunedin taking the only loss.

The Rays pop into the RC for a repeat of last weeks three game series which ended with all three wins for the Rays. Can the Jays mount a riposte? If yes they will have to do it without Addison Barger whose return from sore ankles lasted one game. Yohendrick Pinango is back, as is Yariel Rodriguez because Eric Lauer is DFA.

RJ Schreck has been highlighted in these reports all week, when you have a 16 RBI week that's what happens. He was hitting away again on Sunday helping Buffalo win. Dunedin also won while New Hampshire and Vancouver lost.

Seojun Moon made his pro debut in the FCL. His first appearance went well and backed up by another 18 year old, Miguel Pantoja, the FCL Jays beat the Yankees. RJ Schreck stayed red hot and he led the Bisons to victory. That was it for the good news, Vancouver lost two and Dunedin one. New Hampshire were rained out.

Arjun Nimmala had four hits for New Hampshire and Nolan Perry struck out eight in five innings. Both of them are handling their promotions just fine. Austin Cates also made his first start in AA and he did OK. NH, Vancouver and the FCL Jays all won. Buffalo and Dunedin faced tough pitching.

The limping Jays are back in the big TO for hopefully some relief courtesy of the Angels. Addison Barger will be activated today and someone will lose their spot.

For the second game in a row RJ Schreck had three hits and five RBI. That was matched by Dunedin's Yorman Licourt who had three balls hit over 105 mph. It was a sweet sweep night for the affiliates, six wins. New Hampshire won two.

Buffalo hit well, scored a lot, and pitched well for a comprehensive win. On the other hand Dunedin were terrible. New Hampshire were rained out while Vancouver and the FCL Jays had scheduled days off.

It was a .500 night for the farm on Tuesday. Vancouver was off but Carter Cunningham won Northwest League Player of the Month plaudits for April. Also, Vancouver was pissed off that the Leafs won the NHL Draft Lottery.

The Jays head into the newly roofed Tropicana Field (if it is still called that) for three games. Tampa are hot, 9-1 in their last ten games. They are just 1.5 games back of the Yankees. Tampa is doing it with pitching, they are second in the AL in pitcher WHIP, while their offense is middle of the pack, just ahead of the Blue Jays.

Friday the affiliates lost all four games. Saturday they won four games. Sunday was back to four losses. There was one win as New Hampshire had a doubleheader. Bring on Tuesday.

Vancouver and Dunedin had walk off wins. Buffalo scored two in the top of the eleventh to have the next best thing to a walk off. The FCL season started and the Jays won by a run. New Hampshire's game was postponed in the fourth.

Arjun Nimmala is being promoted to New Hampshire. Nimmala was hitting .132 on April 17th. Since then he has hit in ten of 13 games and raised his average by over 100 points and his OPS by 250, so he looks like he is ready. Austin Cates is also going to NH. That is more of a surprise as Cates has the highest ERA of Vancouvers starters. He may be promoted because he is the second oldest with the oldest being Danny Thompson Jr who is new to starting. However NH do have five starters so either one is injured, or going on the development list (Stanifer?), or Cates is going to the bullpen (less likely). Finally Nolan Perry has earned his promotion and it will be interesting to see how he fares there.
