Maximo Castillo pitched six excellent innings and Jordan Groshans doubled twice in New Hampshire's win. Kevin Smith and Tyler White hit back to back jacks in the eighth to get Buffalo the sweep. Vancouver and Dunedin's pitchers were hit around for two losses.
The FCL Jays have the hottest hitters in the league and they racked up 14 runs on Saturday. Buffalo hitters are doing pretty good too and both these teams won. It was Buffalo's fifth win in a row. Vancouver finally tired of being beaten up by Everett and rallied for a come from behind, walk off win. And it was a no hit, walk off. Behind these teams there was a scarcity of hits as New Hampshire and Dunedin lost.

Hat tip to Josh Norris from BA for the title. Orelvis hit his 18th home run and Sem Robberse pitched well in a Dunedin win. Riley Adams has a hot bat at the moment too and he helped Buffalo win. Austin Martin is another who hit well and New Hampshire won. Adam Kloffenstein was roughed up as the C's lost.

New Hampshire scored four in the bottom of the ninth for the walk off win. Buffalo scored seven in the bottom of the eighth for the almost walk off win. Vancouver can't handle the Everett juggernaut while Dunedin won. The FCL Jays were on the losing end of a walk off.
Buffalo and Dunedin were your Wednesday winners.
All five affiliates held a lead at one point but only two wound up in the winner's circle Tuesday.
Everyone is getting curious - who will the Jays trade for? Who will they get, who will they lose? Lets take a look back to past contenders for an idea of what works/doesn't work and the cost.
Every affiliate won a game on Sunday. Buffalo also lost the game suspended on Saturday. Kevin Smith had a big day. Elvis Luciano could be injured again. Hugo Cardona hit a grand slam.
Rain stopped play in all three east coast games. When play resumed in Florida, Orelvis Martinez hit three home runs and drove in nine. He is on fire this past week, in the five games against Clearwater he has seven home runs and three four hit games. This will immediately lead to calls to send him to Vancouver. We have to wait and see if he does the same next week against Lakeland. But if he has nothing left to prove in low A, then Vancouver could be in for a treat.
The Buffalo game was suspended but New Hampshire and Dunedin managed to complete their games. New Hampshire and Vancouver lost with late bullpen blow ups. Dunedin were the only winners.
Orelvis Martinez had a big night and has stepped up to another level in July. Breyvic Valera and Kevin Smith starred for Buffalo while Alejandro Kirk scuffles. New Hampshire had a nice comeback win thanks to Kevin Vicuna's first home run of the season. Vancouver took the only loss for the affiliates as CJ Van Eck struggled.

The second half begins tonight. The Blue Jays four all-stars are back from Denver and they all tested negative. The stuff we have to concern ourselves with these days.
Kevin Smith homered in the first inning and doubled in the walk off winner in the ninth. It was the only affiliates win on the night. New Hampshire only gave up three hits but lost 5-2. Vancouver and Dunedin lost one, the FCL Jays lost two.
I jumped into the river
Black eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
and all of the things I used to see
