Buffalo won both ends of a doubleheader. New Hampshire and Dunedin lost, Vancouver were rained out. The affiliates had a strong start to the season and the first week or so produced excellent results. However the three lower teams have fallen off and have lost their winning records. Buffalo, despite losing some pitching to the big club and the IL, and despite Alek Manoah not helping, do have a winning record and are hanging in well. Spencer Horwitz and Orelvis are leading the way and Orelvis did hit his seventh home run. However its not all smooth sailing for him as discussed below.

Addison Barger made his MLB debut Wednesday against the Kansas City Royals, playing left field and batting eighth for Toronto. On to the scores and game breakdowns below.

TINSTAPP. (There is no such thing as a pitching prospect)

The Jays have a number of pitching prospects but there is a cloud over pitching development this week. Ricky Tiedemann hit the IL this week. Brandon Barriera went on it less than two week ago. One of the biggest risers in the prospect lists this season has been Landen Maroudis. He left his start yesterday with an undisclosed injury. Kendry Rojas pitched April 10th and hasn't been seen since. Last years up and comer Nolan Perry is on the IL. Dahian Santos is on the 60 day IL. We don't know how serious are many of these injuries, if the Jays are lucky they will be short term absences, or it could be a disaster.

On the field Buffalo bashed, but New Hampshire, Vancouver and Dunedin didn't.

Addison Barger hit a two run home run in the top of the ninth to get the win for Buffalo. Vancouver split a doubleheader. Both New Hampshire and Dunedin lost. And 5.2 innings was a step too far for a couple of starters.

Four games, four losses. The Buffalo bullpen gave up six runs in the seventh to take the loss. The New Hampshire bullpen gave up a run in the ninth to take the loss. The Vancouver bullpen gave up four runs in the eighth to take the loss. The Dunedin bullpen gave up three runs in the ninth to take the loss. Stop me if you see a pattern.
