Buffalo splits a doubleheader, New Hampshire and Dunedin fall, and Lansing pulls one out. Your Toronto Blue Jays’ affiliates were 2-3 on the night.

Anthony Gose had a decent day—he walked more than he struck out and also stole a base, which has been an odd rarity so far. Yes, Ramon Ortiz pitched shutout baseball over five innings in Buffalo, but Ramon was a prospect 20 years ago.
