Trevor Schwecke, Orelvis Martinez and Cade Doughty each drove in all their teams runs. Schwecke and Doughty did it with hits and their teams lost. Orelvis did it with ground balls and his team won. New Hampshire were the only winners on Saturday.

Buffalo and New Hampshire each had 4-1 wins. Each had one solo home run and good starting pitching. Vancouver and Dunedin couldn't get hits and lost.

It's two teams with identical 30-27 records, and neither of them are all that happy about it. Our destination is Citi Field in the Large Apple, which is a venue where the Jays haven't won very often. Exactly twice, to be exact.
There were some pitching woes on the farm Thursday. Mitch White, Jimmy Burnette, Chad Dallas, TJ Brock all had their problems. Vancouver had good pitching and picked up the only win. On the hitting side, Orelvis was the bright spot, he had three hits including a home run. Peyton Williams hit his first home run in high A.
New Hampshire won. That's it.
New Hampshire fought the Fightin' Phillies and won. Vancouver also was victorious on a two-win Tuesday for the affiliates.
It's yet another first place team providing the opposition.
There were six games on the schedule Sunday. New Hampshire won, Buffalo lost, Dunedin split a doubleheader. But Vancouver were the best on the day, winning both ends of a doubleheader. Cade Doughty had six hits.
I also did a deep dive into how I see Orelvis Martinez's season so far.
There were several good performances on the farm on Saturday. Buffalo won a slugfest by hitting five home runs. Their pitching wasn't so good with a couple of guys on the 40 man roster not doing so well. New Hampshire played two. After losing the first they scored eleven in the second. They had three home runs with Miguel Hiraldo hitting a grand slam. Vancouver were supposed to play two but only got one game in. Dahian Santos pitched well and Cade Doughty had three hits. Dunedin had a nice come from behind win.
There were a couple of fine pitching performances on Friday. Both Chad Dallas and Kendry Rojas went five shutout innings. New Hampshire lost on an eleventh inning balk. Dunedin won with a seven inning shutout. Buffalo were outplayed as Zach Thompson left with an injury. Vancouver also lost.

On the one hand, winning one of four at the Trop really isn't all that terrible.
Rafael Lantigua again led the way for Buffalo. He reached base six times. Buffalo won easily with Bowden Francis returning. Sem Robberse and Trenton Wallace both pitched well for their teams but both took the loss anyway. Dunedin's game was suspended. Brandon Barriera threw 2.1 innings before it rained.
Buffalo and Vancouver lost. New Hampshire and Dunedin were rained out on a winless Wednesday.
Vancouver swept a doubleheader. That was the only two wins for the affiliates on Tuesday.
The homestand started out just great, but soon went all to hell. What this team needs is a road trip! Bring it on! Let's go to...
