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.

The Blue Jays affiliates took three out of four Wednesday.

A perfect 4-0 night for the affiliates with two one-run victories.

There were just two games on Sunday with two rainouts. Even the Dunedin game had to survive a rain delay. The Tampa domination of Dunedin continued, the Jays were held to two hits. So it was left to Vancouver to save the day. A pair of two run home runs and an excellent start by Adam Kloffenstein got the win.

The top of the farm did poorly. Buffalo lost two, New Hampshire one. The lower tier did better. Vancouver won, Dunedin split a doubleheader with Tampa, and the FCL Jays scored 15 against the Yankees.

The FCL Jays were no hit for seven innings, ended the game with two hits and still won. New Hampshire had a nice come from behind win powered by their bullpen. Vancouver and Dunedin lost while Buffalo's game was suspended.

The 2021 Major League Baseball Draft is set for this Sunday. The Toronto Blue Jays possess the 19th and 91st picks. They lost their second-round selection for signing free-agent George Springer.
