Two overtime wins and a doubleheader split for the #BlueJays affiliates Tuesday. Buffalo's game in Pawtucket was rained out.
The #BlueJays hope they don't get clowned in their first interleague games of 2018.
A walk-off win, a walk-off loss and a slugfest resulted in the #BlueJays affiliates winning two out of three Monday. Dunedin's game in Tampa was rained out. They will look to play two today.
The #BlueJays hope a better second series at home against Boston.
Here is your abbreviated, due to family commitments, minor league update. Rowdy Tellez had a big game but couldn't stop the Bisons from being walked off. New Hampshire also were walked-off despite the efforts of Vlad Jr. and Cavan Biggio. Dunedin had another come from behind win and Lansing also won.

The two Kevins made sure the #BlueJays affiliates were not shutout in the win column Tuesday.
The #BlueJays take on the Seattle Mariners in this mid-week series at the Dome.
Casey Lawrence - pitching for the Mariners Sunday at Safeco Field - was 0-3 with an 8.78 earned run average with Toronto last year.
The #BlueJays affiliates lost three of four Monday but the biggest concern is the injury suffered to the team's top pitching prospect. The good news was the team's top hitting prospect had an epic night in New Hampshire.
Strong pitching performances at all levels as the usual suspects continued to hit.

The #BlueJays visit the house of horrors known as Tropicana Field this weekend.
Justin Dillon has started four games for Dunedin this year and sports a 4.82 ERA. So when Buffalo needed pitching help with all the Blue Jays moves, they called on Dillon and he was thrown into his first AAA game to protect a 2-0 lead. Dillon pitched 2.2 innings, didn't allow a hit or a walk, and his first five outs came via the strikeout. Three pitchers combined on a shutout, including another newbie, Conor Fisk, up from AA. Jon Harris had another tough start and New Hampshire lost, despite another home run from Vlad Jr. Dunedin lost despite a good start from TJ Zeuch. Lansing won behind a strong outing by Maverik Buffo.
Since Andrew Case became a closer the phrase "Case Closed" has been used by team broadcasters to signify the save. On Wednesday Case came into the game with a two run lead and turned it into a two run deficit. The Fisher Cats lost.
The Bisons fought back from a two run deficit themselves to tie the game but lost in walk-off fashion in the bottom of the ninth. Dunedin had a lead but then had a nightmare inning and lost. Lansing cruised to their usual win scoring six times with their strong offense. It was the lone affiliate win on Wednesday.

The #BlueJays affiliates needed a come-from-behind victory to avoid being shutout in the win column Tuesday.
The #BlueJays affiliates had just two games but they won both Monday night. Dunedin and Lansing had the night off.
