The Damn Yankees descend upon the Dome for a four-game series.

The hot hitters just keep on hitting. Bo Bichette hits another bomb, his sixth. Bradley Jones hit his ninth. Mike Ohlman hit another home run and had three hits in all. Jason Leblebijian had two more hits. Dwight Smith and Vlad Guerrero recorded one each. Conner Greene had an excellent start without recording a fly ball out. One unusual suspect was Richard Urena who had five hits over two games.

Two losses and a victory on the farm Tuesday. New Hampshire's game in Reading was rained out.

The three affiliates could not beat anyone on Monday. Dunedin had the night off.

Yesterday's Red Jays host the Redlegs for a three-game set at the Dome.

Bo Bichette had a walk off single on Sunday. The Fisher Cats had two walks off wins over the weekend. There were many very good pitching performances over the last three days, too many to mention here. Read on for more details.

The rematch, not of the punch but of the playoffs. Some of the Rangers prime time players have hit the skids recently. Rougned Odor is hitting .207 while up-keeper of the unwritten rules, Sam Dyson, has an 11.93 ERA. Mike Bolsinger takes on AJ Griffin with his 5+ ERA on Friday. Saturday sees a good pitching matchup, Yu Darvish vs Marco Estrada. On Sunday its Andrew Cashner and Joe Biagini.

The affiliates were a perfect 4-0. Solid pitching, with the exception of a rehabbing J.A. Happ, was the order of the evening.

Justin Maese has the reputation of a sinker, slider pitcher who gets contact without many strikeouts. He reversed that on Wednesday with 12 strikeouts in seven innings. Bo Bichette, Andrew Guillotte, Roemon Fields and Raffy Lopez kept on hitting. Conner Greene had to battle through his start.

A winning night on the farm saw a doubleheader sweep account for half of the win total. A one-run loss prevented a perfect night.

The Blue Jays hope to be worthy in the good land of Wisconsin.

The affiliates split their two games on Monday. One of them featured the rehabbing left side of the Toronto infield. New Hampshire was rained out. Buffalo had no baseball game on the docket.

Its your long weekend abbreviated minor league update. Over the weekend Vlad Guerrero Jr. picked up seven hits. Danny Jansen also had a good weekend. Richard Urena's bat is starting to look alive again, while Max Pentecost is finding that it is tough to learn how to be a regular catcher and keep hitting.

The Blue Jays make their second trip to Maryland and they hope it goes much better than their first.
