Notes:

 

MLB:

• No Important Notes Today.
  

 

Jays:

• Hutchison, who is 2-0 with a 1.42 ERA in two career starts against the Red Sox, has surrendered nine runs over 11 innings in consecutive defeats. The right-hander is 2-4 with a 6.75 ERA in seven home starts.
  
• Melky Cabrera keyed the Blue Jays' 9-6 win on Sunday with a tie-breaking, go-ahead home run in the seventh inning, then a two-run single in the eighth to provide some much-needed insurance. Cabrera had his fingerprints all over the series, finishing 7-for-13 with a double, a homer and three RBIs in the three games. He collected six hits in the final two games, both Blue Jays wins.
  
• Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos said he'd like to use right-hander Brandon Morrow in some capacity this season. Morrow is on the 60-day disabled list with a torn tendon sheath in his right index finger, but he'll head to the team's training complex in Florida this weekend to continue his rehabilitation.
  

 

Rangers:

• Lackey is 5-8 with a 5.43 ERA in 20 starts against Toronto for his second-worst ERA against any AL club.
  
• David Ross clubbed a two-run home run off Kansas City starter Yordano Ventura in the team's 6-0 win. He now has four home runs in his last 10 games.
  
• Brock Holt is 14 for 28 over his last six games for Boston and entered Sunday as one of baseball's best two-strike hitters with a .265 average. He went 5 for 9 in the last series against Toronto between May 20-22.

That's not actually his fault, it's the site's fault from where he gets them.

Who threw out the first pitch? I don't think I've ever seen him before.

For those of you who know prospects... Is Brock Holt actually a thing or is he just a fluke that will regress?

 

Did he ever have prospect status?

[Orgfiller]

 

I thought he looked tall as s***, assumed basketball player but wasn't sure if it was a Raptor that I didn't know of. That's pretty cool!

[Dylan]

Lets go blue jays!!!! Been like 2 weeks since I've been able to watch a game

Hutch throwin' strikes!!

Holt was never a prospect, and was a throw-in to go with Joel Hanrahan (who blew out his elbow months later.) Whether he keeps up his strong performance will depend how the league adjusts.

[Dylan]

KK!!!

 

Great start

[Orgfiller]

Oh my what an inning by Hutch!

[Atothe]

Hutch is nasty tonight

[Orgfiller]

How do you not know who Tristan Thompson is?

 

Lol.

[Abomination]

I love the way Kratz moves and presents a target behind the plate.

[jaysfan2014]

Good start for Hutch.

[Orgfiller]

Here we go with the terrible BABIP luck.
