The Blue Jays wrap up their first road trip of 2015 with three games
against the defending AL East champion Baltimore Orioles. The O's and
Jays are tied with Boston for top spot in the standings with 2-1
records.
Miguel Castro — pitching here for the
Vancouver Canadians against Everett July 11 of last year — picked up
his first Major League save in Thursday's 6-3 victory over New York at
Yankee Stadium. The 20 year-old has pitched three perfect innings over three appearances with two strikeouts and zero walks.
It's always weird to see Olympic Stadium full of people...
Four games today! More tomorrow! And the next day!
The games go on. It's the AL Wild Card game tonight.
it was 25 seasons ago when the Jays and O's squared off at the Dome to decide the American League East. Today, the AL East has already been decided as the O's will use the final three games to tune up for the playoffs after winning the division. The Jays are hoping to finish the season with a winning record.
And now
the end is near...
The Jays play their final road series of 2014 against the Evil Empire.

The Orioles can clinch the division by taking two of the three games from Toronto, so you can expect they'll be trying to do exactly that.
The Blue Jays take their five-game winning streak into Fenway Park. The home squad is coming off one of those soul-crushing defeats - taking a lead into the ninth inning, only to have your closer give up a pair of solo home runs. That's possibly good news for Toronto. Of course, the fact that it was the Yankees abusing the Bostonians definitely wasn't good news.
Six days on the road, beginning tonight.
The Derek Jeter farewell tour makes its last stop in Toronto. It is as yet unclear if Ken Huckaby has been invited.
And we're not little children
And we know what we want
And the future is certain
Give us time to work it out
John Farrell and the last-place Red Sox are coming to town.
The Jays need a run of six or seven in a row or nine of ten to get back into it. Will it start tonight?
Friday: Drew Smyly vs. Marcus Stroman
Saturday: Jeremy Hellickson vs. Mark Buehrle
Sunday: Chris Archer vs. Drew Hutchison
The Jays are 4-11 since doing nothing at the Trade Deadline.
