The #BlueJays take on the O's in a "clash of the titans" of the AL East.
Vlad Guerrero Jr. had to leave his game today as he aggravated his leg injury. Before he left he picked up two hits but the excitement came after he left. The Fisher Cats came back to tie the game late and then get a walk off win thanks to a throwing error. Lansing received shutout pitching to beat division rivals Bowling Green 2-0. It was a quiet night on the farm for both Buffalo and Dunedin who lost 4-1 and 3-1 respectively. The best performance for Buffalo was by Rowdy Tellez who had a couple of extra base hits including a home run off a rehabbing Jordan Zimmerman.

The #BlueJays affiliates won three out of five Tuesday night.
The #BlueJays return to the Dome to face the Bronx Bombers for a two-game set.
The 2018 MLB Draft continues with rounds 3-10. The #BlueJays selected third baseman Jordan Groshans from Magnolia High School in Texas with the 12th pick and outfielder Griffin Conine from Duke with the 52nd selection.
A quiet night for the #BlueJays affiliates with just two games played but a productive one as they won both. Buffalo, New Hampshire and Lansing had the night off.
It's day one of the MLB draft. Auburn pitcher
Casey Mize has been selected by the Detroit Tigers first overall. You can follow the picks
right here. The # BlueJays are picking 12th and 52nd.
Injuries were the common theme over the weekend, but the minor league system looks good and will be further enhanced by the end of the day.

Today is draft day. The Jays pick at number twelve in the first round. In some years the Jays would have a clear picture as to who would be available at this stage of the draft. But this year it seems there are at least six and maybe more names associated with the Jays. Talk amongst yourselves about who the Jays could pick.
The #BlueJays go to Motown to begin the month of June.
Curtis Granderson returns to Detroit where he began his major league career in 2004.
Buffalo, New Hampshire and Lansing all went to extra innings. It worked for Buffalo and Lansing but not for New Hampshire. With the new "runner on second" rule, none of these extra inning games went long and indeed there have been few long games this season.
Ryan Noda hit his first home run of the year in the eighth inning to turn a 2-1 deficit into a 3-2 lead and set Lansing up for the win. Maximo Castillo had his best start of the season. Buffalo won 7-3 with several good performances. New Hampshire came from behind to win thanks to a couple of late home runs from two of the lesser known players. Vlad did not reach base for the second time this season, cancel the promotion! Dunedin were rained out.
A ninth-inning collapse spoiled a perfect Tuesday night on the farm for the #BlueJays affiliates. The three winning clubs combined to score 29 runs.
