Notes:

 

MLB:

• No Important Notes Today.
  

 

Jays:

• Happ is making his first start since giving up five runs in 4 1-3 innings of a 5-2 loss to the Los Angeles Angels on July 7, but gave up two runs and three hits in 2-3 innings of relief at Tampa Bay on July 12.
  
• Toronto is tied for second in the East after going 13-25 since entering play on June 7 with a six-game division lead.
  
• Toronto slugger Jose Bautista has not homered in 14 straight games and is 3 for 20 in his last six.
  

 

Red Sux:

• Peevy allowed seven runs in 5.2 innings of his first start against the Blue Jays in 2010, but is 3-1 with a 2.13 ERA in six outings since. He yielded a homer to Juan Francisco and four other hits in seven innings of an 8-1 victory at Rogers Centre on April 25. Since then, the right-hander has gone 0-8 with a 5.21 ERA in 14 starts. Peevy, however, has a 2.84 ERA despite going 0-2 and receiving three runs of support while on the mound in his last three. He gave up three runs and struck out nine in seven innings of a 3-2 loss at Houston on July 12.
  
• Ortiz's 453rd career home run in the fifth moved him past Boston great Carl Yastrzemski into 36th place all-time. He's 5 for 27 in his last seven games against the Blue Jays, but four of those hits were home runs. Ortiz has 35 homers at Rogers Centre, his most at any park besides Fenway. Alex Rodriguez, with 36, has hit the most long balls of any visitor to Toronto's home stadium.
  
• Victorino went on the 15-day disabled list with a right hamstring strain May 24 and suffered a back injury while on rehab. He returned to action for the final two contests of the Red Sox three-game series against the Royals, going 3-for-7 with a double while playing right field. Farrell said a four-game series on the turf at Rogers Centre means the club will monitor the 33-year-old a little closer than usual.

New energy coming from the minors...hopefully we come out focused and playing with that energy as a team

[CJ-Freeway]

Happ pitching? Don't want to be pessimistic but... f***.

Happ pitching? Not want to be pessimistic but... f***.

 

It'll either be a repeat of yesterday but with more walks OR he'll K 7 hitters through 5, with good command of the fastball. Book it.

[North of 60]

Why do I even bother watching?

[rwt147]

We can hit Peavy. If Happ doesn't blow up we should have a chance. Go Jays.

[Atothe]

Awww he looks so adorable

Good inning Happ. I'll take 7 more just like that please.

[gruber92]

Reyes really needs to stand a bit more upright in his stance. His fly balls have no bite.

[Candy Maldonado]

first pitch swingtista

[Daniel Labude]

Bautista continues to struggle on hittable pitches

[o2cui2i]

jays have become hackers again.... sad state of affairs.

[Angrioter]

Good inning Happ. I'll take 7 more just like that please.

Are you stealing the weed from your dad?

[intentional wok]

Just looked at the lineup. Embarrassing, particularly on a day when the Yankees land Headley for Solarte.

[Orgfiller]

Nice slider!

[Atothe]

wow that was nice Happ

[Orgfiller]

If that dropped I would have been furious, everything dropped for Boston last night.
