Notes:

 

MLB:

• No Important Notes Today.
  

 

Jays:

• Hutchison picked up his third straight win last Monday after surrendering five runs over five innings in a 10-5 home win over Tampa Bay. He's pitched well with a 3-1 record and 2.33 ERA in seven road starts
  
• Edwin Encarnacion set a franchise record and tied Mickey Mantle for the American League record for most homers in the month of May with 16. Encarnacion started June off on the right foot as well with a two-run homer in the Blue Jays' 4-0 win over the Royals on Sunday.
  
• Tuesday's series opener will be the first meeting between the visiting Blue Jays and Tigers since last July, when a four-game series at Rogers Centre included a late, hard slide by Colby Rasmus into Omar Infante, knocking out Infante for more than a month with a sprained ankle and a bruised knee. Infante moved on to Kansas City as a free agent, but the incident hasn't likely been forgotten. However, Rasmus has been on the disabled list since mid-May.
  

 

Tigers:

• Sanchez has gone 2-0 with a 1.77 ERA in three starts since missing three weeks due to a blister on his right middle finger. Sanchez pitched well Wednesday against an Oakland team which leads the majors with 296 runs, allowing only one run and three hits with a season-high nine strikeouts over 8.1 innings.
  
• Detroit totaled 20 runs and batted .213 during a 3-4 road swing that concluded with Sunday's 4-0 loss at Seattle. Ian Kinsler (4 for 32), Austin Jackson (3 for 29) and Alex Avila (2 for 28) are among the slumping Tigers.
  
• Miguel Cabrera, however, is batting .404 with four homers and 14 RBIs in his last 16 contests. The star slugger went 7 for 14 with a home run to help Detroit take two of three against visiting Toronto from April 9-11, 2013. Ian Kinsler is the only Tigers hitter to have faced Hutchison. He has one double and three RBIs in four at-bats against Toronto's righty.

Bad feeling about Hutch tonight.

[G-Snarls]

Sanchez vs Hutch should be a great matchup. Can't wait!

 

A well rested Hutch too!

[theblujay]

We got this! Let's go Jays!!!

[Dylan]

Tough series, come on jays!!!

[Daniel Labude]

Huge series!!!! Prove to the world the Blue Jays are for real.

[Abomination]

Did they just say Hazel Mae's clothing by Hazel Mae?

[closetjaysfan]

Need to get to Sanchez early. Hopefully they are selective and run up the counts, Detroit's bullpen is almost as bad as ours.

[Deadpool]

Btw, it should be noted, Anibal hasn't allowed a homer all season.

 

... yet.

[G-Snarls]

Btw, it should be noted, Anibal hasn't allowed a homer all season.

 

That's remarkable

 

And.hopefully, about to end!

[Dylan]

Hows the tigers bp?

[jays76]

Hopefully Hutch comes out like he did against Yu Darvish in that Texas game.

[Dylan]

Weird tv angle, or is it just me?

[jays76]

Anyone remember when we crushed Sanchez a couple of years ago when he was a Marlin? We absolutely destroyed him..

[Orgfiller]

Unfortunate results but good job by the hitters to have worked two full counts to start the game.

[Bunchedundies]

Bad feeling in this series, they simply, have better pitching. JAys could have runners on first and second, reyes and melky both swung at ball 4.

[G-Snarls]

FU Anibal Sqnchez and Ian Kinsler. You both should have been ours!!

[guylaroche5]

Bad feeling in this series, they simply, have better pitching. JAys could have runners on first and second, reyes and melky both swung at ball 4.

 

lmao, how did i know you would say this

[Dylan]

[Orgfiller]

Great start for Hutch.

[Bunchedundies]

lmao, how did i know you would say this

 

Cool story bro.

[Atothe]

[gruber92]

Bad feeling in this series, they simply, have better pitching. JAys could have runners on first and second, reyes and melky both swung at ball 4.

 

Give it a f***ing rest already.

[Deadpool]

Is RogersOnDemand being f***tarded for anyone else tonight?

[Trouba95]

Why the f*** is Drew pitching to Navarro again? f*** sakes.

[Dylan]

Is RogersOnDemand being f***tarded for anyone else tonight?

 

working for me

[guylaroche5]

the metaljay school of hitting

 

- only swing at strikes

 

note: in the metaljay school of hitting every batter has the ability to distinguish balls from strikes 100% of the time
