Every team nicknamed the Blue Jays were in action, save for Dunedin, and went 2-1 Tuesday.  The teams without the Jays moniker had the night off.

Balbino Fuenmayor led his team to victory as the farm went 2-4.

It was a .500 day on the farm with the affiliates going 3-3. There were some solid performances but nothing that really stood out.

The three stars yesterday all went to pitchers, who combined for 21 innings of shutout ball with 7 hits allowed and 26 strikeouts. And Drew Hutchison wasn’t among them. However, Jesse Litsch’s rehab start for Las Vegas was not nearly as pretty.

Nine games produced three postponements and a single win. Ugh.

There were a lot of crooked numbers on a good night on the farm, plus a couple of multi-home run games.

In the other games the Jays played in the middle of the night, the affiliates compiled a 3-4 record with one postponement.  Two of the top performers from Tuesday were pretty card sharp to cut into the MLU 3 Stars, do you believe it?

Update 7/6/2011 @ 12:05pm:  More stories on Extra Innings on K.C. Hobson, Lance Durham, Sean Henn, Chris Woodward and Kevin Howard.

The farm only went 2-6, but the most interesting team on the farm prospect-wise won in a blowout, and there were plenty of good prospect performances.

The affiliates were 3-2 on the day. There were not many standout individual performances but a few solid team efforts.

Despite overall scoring deficit just 4 runs (45 to 41) only the AAA and DCL Blue Jays affiliates, came out victorious on a Saturday night.  2 and 6 makes for a tough Saturday night. 

Nearly every game by the affiliates featured runs by one team or both in the first inning. Many of the games settled down after that and, aside from a 28-hit affair in Nevada and Lansing’s pitching allowing double-digit runs, most the games were relatively closely and not large-scoring affairs. Las Vegas, New Hampshire and Dunedin won, but then you have to go down to Bluefield to see another victory. The victories in Double and High-A saw strong pitching performances by prospects continuing to improve their ranking.

Five wins in eight tries for the affiliates. Not a ton of notable offensive performances put two of the organization's top pitchers brought their good stuff.

A necessarily brief update; plus Lansing ties a Midwest League record, and not in a good way.

A 5-3 night on the farm where the bats were smoking on the West Coast and Ohio.

The full-season affiliates didn't win a game, but a couple short-season clubs scored a bunch of runs to somewhat salvage the night for the farm.
