Arjun Nimmala homered for the third game in a row on another good night for the affiliates. Three wins and a one run loss. The big story was Vancouver scoring four runs in the top of the ninth to erase a two run deficit. The game went to extra innings where Eddie Micheletti Jr doubled in the winning run. Vancouver and Dunedin won on nights when Grant Rogers and Khal Stephen were not at their best. Jake Bloss was pretty good though.

All four affiliates won, an unusual occurrence this season.

ON a night when Trey Yesavage and Gage Stanifer pitched it was Rafael Sanchez who stole the show. Sanchez threw a six inning complete game shutout to get the win for New Hampshire. Yesavage and Stanifer were good too. Also Arjun Nimmala hit his third home run of the season.

The affiliates played five games on Thursday, New Hampshire played two, and Buffalo were the only winners. In the four losing games the Jays teams had 14 hits combined for an average of 3.5 hits per game. That's not a recipe for success.

Make up games in Buffalo, Dunedin win a close one, New Hampshire gets shut out, Vancouver heads down the I5.

Dunedin prevented a total disaster on an otherwise disappointing Tuesday. At least the Leafs won.

None of the affiliates were able to rise from the dead on Sunday. None of them had a lead in their games and they combined for 20 hits over four games. There was little to get excited about.

Three wins on Saturday with lots of excellent performances. Yohendrick Pinango led the way with four hits. Bryce Arnold and Ali Sanchez homered twice.

Eight home runs in the minor league today. Jace Bohrofen hit two, Yeuni Munoz hit one for his third day in a row. Several players got their first home run of the season. All those home runs just earned two wins for the affiliates.

Here is a summary of the prospect lists from an assortment of sites. I like to do this each year to get an overall view on the Jays top prospects.

Pitching has been prominent over the first few weeks of the season. But not so on Thursday. Jackson Wentworth was the only starting pitcher who completed four innings. The three teams who did not get four innings from their starter lost. Vancouver, behind Wentworth, won by scoring 13 runs.

Dunedin 18 Lakeland 2

New Hampshire 10 Harrisburg 9

Vancouver 5 Eugene 2

Buffalo Syracuse PPD

3. Peyton Williams, HR, RBI, R

2. The Dunedin Blue Jays

1. The Dunedin Blue Jays

Buffalo was bombed, New Hampshire and Vancouver let one get away in the later innings and Dunedin also finished second on the scoreboard.

I believe its the first time this year that we have 100% wins, even if its just three games. New Hampshire were rained out.

In a season where runs are in short supply for the affiliates, Vancouver scored nine on Saturday. They had the only win. Buffalo lost two, Dunedin one while New Hampshire were snowed out. A couple of players are pushing for a promotion.
