Buffalo, Vancouver and Dunedin all recorded comeback wins to complete the organizational sweep Wednesday. New Hampshire’s game in Reading was again cancelled due to COVID complications.
A shutout win and two one-run losses for the Blue Jays affiliates on Tuesday. New Hampshire’s game in Reading was cancelled due to COVID concerns.
Under no circumstances would I ever mess with a winning streak.
Buffalo had to go eleven innings to extend their win streak to eight games. They started the week in second place but had a five game lead by the end of the week. Dunedin played ten innings but lost. Vancouver won in nine innings while New Hampshire's games were cancelled due to COVID.
Here is your abbreviated, long weekend, minor league update. Buffalo stayed hot. Dunedin won too.

Buffalo won a tight 1-0 game to extend their lead in the division. New Hampshire lost both ends of a doubleheader. Vancouver had lots of hitting and won. Spencer Horwitz extended his hitting streak to 22 games in style with four hits. Dunedin played a long one, 13 innings, but came out on the wrong end.
Kind of a big weekend here. Let's not mess around.
Buffalo started the week two games out of first place and this week they got to play the team ahead of them, Scranton. On Thursday they won their third straight to jump into the lead in their division. New Hampshire lost despite Jordan Groshans picking up three hits. Adam Kloffenstein pitched well to get the win for Vancouver. Dunedin achieved the difficult task of winning both ends of a doubleheader.

As your bad day disappears
No longer wound up like a string
Before you had too much
Come back in focus again
Vancouver was the only affiliate in action but lost by a run. Buffalo, New Hampshire, Dunedin and the Florida Complex League Blue Jays were rained out.
The Blue Jays affiliates batted 1.000 with a 6-0 Tuesday night on the farm.
Ah, the poor Jays. The bats are struggling. Could they be afraid? Is it time to summon the spirit of Mighty Jobu, with appropriate offerings of cigar and rum, to take the fear from the bats?
Or should we first see how they do against a bunch of pitchers who really don't have a whole lot of business being on a major league roster?
Vancouver scored six runs in the second inning and never looked back. Dunedin went up 4-0 and held on for a one run win. Buffalo were down 5-1 but came back to win. New Hampshire were down early as Luis Quinones struggled and could not get back into the game.

A grand slam home run by Vinny Capra was enough to get the win for New Hampshire. A three run home run from Danny Jansen was not enough for Buffalo. A two run shot by PK Morris in the ninth got the win for Dunedin. A solo shot by Spencer Horwitz couldn't stop Vancouver from taking a loss. In the FCL Rikelbin De Castro hit his first home run. Another hitter who had been scuffling, Orelvis Martinez, had his second multi hit game in a row.
