When you outhit your opponents 57 to 31 and you outscore them 36 to 18 you have a good chance of a good night.  That’s just what happened Friday night on the farm, with our boys going 4 and 0.

None of the starting pitchers you are familiar with at the top of the prospect chart pitched tonight. In each case these are the "Other Guys" - the ones who might have some talent but do their work in the shadow of more attention grabbing individuals.Still, in 3 of 4 outings, the Jays farm hands prevailed.

Late inning heroics for the Lugnuts almost make up for four losses in the other games.

Only two games on the docket and Las Vegas were the only winners. New Hampshire were rained out and Lansing had a scheduled day-off.  Reportedly Adam Lind is on waivers which expire today.  Teams that were interested in him have had three games to get a good look at him before the deadline.  Lind had two more hits last night.

A 3-1 night for the affiliates and it could have easily been 4-0.  Two of the teams reached double digits in the run column and another made sure the opposition put up nothing but zeroes.

The affiliates won three games. Justin Nicolino and Aaron Sanchez were almost unhittable with just three hits allowed in eight combined innings.

Despite managing just eight runs combined over four games, the affiliates split Saturday thanks to some strong pitching and timely hitting.

Lansing and Dunedin, with .707 and .659 winning percentages stayed their courses, each bringing home the bacon.  Las Vegas (20-21) and New Hampshire (16-23) continued their struggles, each with sub .500 records on the year.

In every minor league affair involving a Blue Jays affiliate  on Thursday, the losing team scored a single run and 3 out of 4 times, that worked out in our favor.

Brett Cecil had his best start of the year in the first game of New Hampshire’s doubleheader. However, the other three games in the system didn’t go nearly so well, as late inning relievers blew leads or surrendered game-winning runs in the late innings.

Dunedin won easily behind Casey Lawrence and Marcus Knecht. Knecht had two home runs and Lawrence pitched eight innings. Lansing won a one run game, Aaron Sanchez pitched well, Justin Nicolino did OK. Las Vegas lost but Travis Snider did hit a home run. New Hampshire had a doubleheader rained out.

A perfect night on the farm for the three affiliates in action.  New Hampshire had the day off.

Three hits from both Chris Hawkins and Chris Schaeffer led to the only win on the day for the Blue Jays affiliates.

38 runs scored in four games for the affiliates. Not surprisingly, that led to a few notable performances.

Outscored 22 to 15 and out hit 39 to 27, only one Jays farm team won Friday.  Las Vegas didn’t play and Dunedin scrapped their way to a win with some decent 9 strike out pitching.  New Hampshire started their disaster early giving up 5 runs in the first inning and then got tagged for three home runs in later innings.  They didn’t recover.
