Bobby Ray had a rough night and Las Vegas lost; Luis Perez was human and New Hampshire lost; Dunedin had to use a committee of pitchers and they lost.  Ryan Shopshire pitched well for Lansing and the Luggies were the only winners on the farm.  Brett Wallace and JP Arencibia went deep.  Jon Talley and Tyler Pastornicky continued to hit well for Dunedin.  Brad McElroy and AJ Jimenez led the Luggies hitters. 

It was exciting day on the farm as the affiliates went 4-1 and won a couple of close games.

There wasn’t much to write about on the farm last night, as there was a rainout and two blowout losses. The only bright spot came in Florida, where Dunedin won in extra innings with a 17-hit effort after tying the game in the bottom of the ninth.

It was almost a perfect night for the Jays organization as only one affiliate failed to get in the win column.

All four minor-league teams won on Monday, though a Dunedin double-header loss prevented the farm from having a perfect night.

A fairly tame day on the farm but a 25 year-old continued an incredible start to his season.

Colorado Springs is one of the toughest parks for a pitcher, the elevation is over 6000 feet and the thin and dry air doesn't help breaking balls move as much as at sea level.  Think Denver with another 800 feet added on.  But Brett Cecil did fine Friday, pitching six innings and only giving up one earned run.  JP Arencibia provided the early offense with a run and two RBI's.  Brett Wallace and Brian Dopirak went back to back in the ninth to cap the win.

The other three teams were not as fortunate.  Travis D'Arnaud went deep again and Tyler Pastornicky appears to back in the groove.  Adam Loewen got his first home run of the season.  Randy Boone pitched well in relief.  Chad Jenkins improved on his first start ut didn't dominate.  Read all about it below.

It was a lousy night on the farm as none of the affiliates played particularly well.

Hey, better late than never, right!

That's the truth!  A perfect night all around in Toronto and for the minor league affiliates who go 4-0 Tuesday night. 

On Monday night, the farm played a bunch of close games, and got a couple great performances from Latin America products.

Sunday saw three wins in four tries for the affiliates highlighted by a strong start by a top prospect and the professional debut of another.

The Dunedin hitters had really been struggling over their first two games but on Saturday they faced Brad Lidge who was making a rehab appearance.  They tagged him for four runs and went on to win the game.  New Hampshire won their game too with solid pitching from Zach Stewart and the bullpen and a home run by Brad Emaus.  Tim Collins recorded five outs, all by strikeout.  Las Vegas didn't play well but Brett Wallace hit a home run, while the Lugnuts lost again despite three hits by Bradley Glenn.

Day two of the minor league season looked a lot like day one.  Las Vegas again rode good pitching to beat Salt Lake.  The Dunedin hitters still haven't found their bats and took another bad loss.  Lansing again went to extra innings and again lost.  New Hampshire did not get the chance to do it again as they were rained out.

Stars of the night were JP ARencibia, Rey Gonzalez and Kenny Wilson.

New Hampshire got off to a hot start when Darin Mastroianni led off the season with a home run and before Kyle Drabek reached the mound he had a four run lead.  On the other hand Clearwater threw a perfect game against Dunedin for six innings.  New Hampshire went on to win while Dunedin were well beaten.

Lansing had four RBI's from Ryan Schimpf and home runs from 2009 draftees Schimpf and Ryan Goins but lost in extra innings.   Las Vegas won with a shutout, Brad Mills and the bullpen held Salt Lake to three hits.

Bullpens were generally strong on Thursday, the Fisher Cats got four innings of perfect relief from Luis Perez and Danny Farquhar.  The Lugnuts also got four innings of perfect relief from Nestor Molina and Dustin Antolin but they lost the game in the sixth inning of relief.  Las Vegas got three innings of shutout relief to cement their win.
