Game on? Ok...

The Fightin' Blue Jays and the Fightin' Orioles begin round three at Camden Yards. Toronto completed a 4-2 homestand with series victories against New York and Boston to get to .500 on the season at 16-16. The Orioles are 13-16 after losing five of six in New York, including three of four to the Yankees. Their road trip was extended to nine games after the Baltimore riots forced their series against Tampa Bay to be played at Tropicana Field instead. The O's did take two of three against Tampa as the 'home team'.

Boston makes its first visit to the Dome in 2015. The Jays are 14-15, a half-game ahead of the 13-15 Red Sox and four games behind the Yankees for first place in the American League East. Toronto is coming off a series victory against the Yankees at the Concrete Convertible.

The New York Yankees come to Toronto for a big three game series. It is early in the season but this week is setting up as a pivotal week for the Jays. Along with the Yankees, the Red Sox come to town this week and these six games could say a lot about this team. A 4-2 week, or better, will steady the ship. A 2-4 week, or worse, will raise the angst level to extra high.

The road trip from hell concludes with a four-game series in Cleveland. The Jays are 1-5 so far on this 10-game excursion after dropping two of three to Boston to fall to 10-12 on the season and guarantee a losing record in April. Like the Blue Jays, the Indians are in last place in their division with a 7-13 record in the AL Central. The Tribe have not won a series since their opening three-game set in Houston where they took two out of three. They have lost their last four three-game sets two games to one, including a series loss to Kansas City at Progressive Field.

Three games for the Jays in Boston and all three are scheduled for 6pm starts. It's an experiment by the Sawx to see if more fans stick around downtown to go to the games. Given that the Sox almost always sell out they must have been worried about early season attendance after last years poor performance. Speaking of poor performance the Jays try and right the ship after three losses in Tampa.

Usually trips to Tampa Bay don't go well for this team...

The Bluebirds and the Blackbirds face each other in Toronto for the first time in 2015. The Jays took two out of three in Baltimore during the first weekend of the season to return home with a 4-2 record. However, a 2-5 homestand has put a damper on that promising start to the season. Toronto had the day off Monday but Baltimore lost the annual Boston Marathon morning game to come away with a split of their four-game series. The Jays are 6-7 and the O's are 7-6.

The Blue Jays look to bounce back from a four-game series loss in which they managed just one win against Tampa Bay. The Braves dropped two of three at home to Miami as the Marlins gained a measure after being swept by the Braves in Florida to start the season. Atlanta is 6-3 on the season while Toronto is 5-5.

The Blue Jays return home after a 4-2 road trip that saw them take two of three from Baltimore. Homers by Dalton Pompey, Kevin Pillar and Jose Bautista and a strong performance from the bullpen rescued a shaky Drew Hutchison in a 10-7 triumph at Camden Yards Sunday afternoon. The Jays are tied with the Boston Red Sox for first place in the AL East.

The Blue Jays wrap up their first road trip of 2015 with three games against the defending AL East champion Baltimore Orioles. The O's and Jays are tied with Boston for top spot in the standings with 2-1 records.


Miguel Castro — pitching here for the Vancouver Canadians against Everett July 11 of last year — picked up his first Major League save in Thursday's 6-3 victory over New York at Yankee Stadium. The 20 year-old has pitched three perfect innings over three appearances with two strikeouts and zero walks.

It's always weird to see Olympic Stadium full of people...

Four games today! More tomorrow! And the next day!

The games go on. It's the AL Wild Card game tonight.

it was 25 seasons ago when the Jays and O's squared off at the Dome to decide the American League East. Today, the AL East has already been decided as the O's will use the final three games to tune up for the playoffs after winning the division. The Jays are hoping to finish the season with a winning record.
