Notes:

 

MLB:

• No Important Notes Today.
  

 

Jays:

• Marcus Stroman is bidding to become the team's first rookie to win his first three starts since Mauro Gozzo in 1989. The right-hander, one of the Blue Jays' top pitching prospects, has been outstanding since being added to the rotation, yielding two runs with 13 strikeouts over 12 innings. He held St. Louis to one run Friday while scattering seven hits with seven strikeouts, two walks and a hit batter in six innings of a 3-1 win.
  
• Toronto is among the majors' leaders with a .261 average, .443 slugging percentage and 4.8 runs per game, while its 91 homers are the most in baseball. The offense has sputtered while dropping three of four games, mustering a .186 average - 2 for 22 with runners in scoring position - while being blanked in all three of those defeats. The Blue Jays had been shut out only once previously.
  
• Toronto has gone 16-5 over its last 21 games after starting the season 23-22.
  

 

Orioles:

• Hughes looks to bounce back after permitting season highs of five runs and three homers in six innings of Friday's 5-4 loss to Houston. He had been 6-0 with a 1.99 ERA over his eight previous starts, during which he served up only two homers.
  
• Twins 2B Brian Dozier is 11/33 with three homers, six RBIs and nine runs in nine games. Half of his six hits in six games at Rogers Centre have left the park.
  
• Kendrys Morales, who signed with the Twins on Sunday, started at designated hitter and batted fifth on Tuesday night. He is 3-for-8 with a walk since debuting on Monday.

Fatcow you're lucky you made it here on time.

This is not going to end well. Gausman is Baltimore's Ace.

 

Also... you have Twins stats, Fatcow. Slacking off with the World Cup and all?
