Am I referring to the fact that a bunch of Jay farmhands shut down the opposition? Or is it a topical reference to the "wicked bad storm" (to borrow a friend's phrase) that blew through here yesterday?

The bullpens played a big part in yesterdays games as the affiliates split. In New Hampshire the bullpen turned a 6-5 lead with two outs in the ninth into an 8-6 loss. In Dunedin a 6-1 lead for the Jays became 6-5 in a flash. In Syracuse the bullpen had to pitch 7.2 innings after David Purcey had a bad day. In Lansing the bullpen only had to pitch two innings to preserve a 2-0 lead.
Burnett started and got the win yesterday.............that would be Sean Burnett who defeated Syracuse.

Syracuse and New Hampshire took it on the chin yesterday. Josh Banks surrendered a couple more home runs as the Chiefs ran out of pitchers. The Fisher Cats "blew up good" late in their game. Dunedin salvaged a win for the affiliates as Lansing had a day off. Orlando Trias pitched well enough to win, with thanks to the bullpen, while Robinzon Diaz and Ryan Klosterman supplied the offense.

We had a bit of everything on the farm last night: all the home teams won and Syracuse won it on an infield "single" while all the other teams either scored 10+, gave up 10+ or shut out the opposition.

Admit it. You read it and laughed a little bit inside. 1-3 for the affiliates last night, as Dunedin won 2-0. Ottawa and Burlington ended up on the right side of the ledger, which is kind of amusing.

Kevin Barker. That’s it. It was his night to shine in what is likely to be his best single-game performance as a professional.

Yes, that's my headline.
Three runs was the most scored by any of the minor league teams last night, and even that required an Ontario kid to come up with a hit in the final inning. We've got a rainout, a rain delay, a rain-induced doubleheader and...well, our Third Star today is the rare ballplayer whose first and last names both contain the letters r-a-i-n.
