Notes:

 

Jays:

• Aaron Sanchez will try to move on for the Blue Jays after yielding a career-high five runs over 5 2-3 innings in Wednesday's 6-1 defeat at Baltimore. Sanchez walked four to bring his total to 29, and his 6.87 per nine innings marks baseball's second-highest rate among pitchers with at least five starts. He was at 2.45 as a rookie last season. Sanchez has a 2.02 ERA in 14 home appearances, going 2-1 there in three starts this year. This marks his first matchup with Los Angeles.
  
• Russell Martin improved to 24 for 56 over his last 14 games with a 3-for-5 performance that was matched by Josh Donaldson, who is batting .433 with 14 RBIs over his last 16 at home. Donaldson was also caught on camera yelling expletives (Suck my cock!!!) from the dugout at Angels pitching coach Mike Butcher, seemingly bothered by the fact that Los Angeles argued the strike zone during his at-bat.
  

 

Angels:

• Santiago is winless in his last four starts while receiving two runs of support, and he gave up one run over 12 1-3 innings in the last two. The left-hander didn't issue a walk in six innings of a 2-1 win over Colorado in 11 on Wednesday after walking 18 in his first six outings. Santiago has been able to maintain a 2.41 ERA despite walking four batters per nine innings. He's been doing it with an unsustainably high 87-percent strand rate, though. In 41 innings, the 27-year-old has allowed 34 hits and 18 walks, but only 12 runs (11 earned). Santiago has never started versus Toronto and owns a 2.25 ERA over five appearances. The Angels have backed Santiago with one or no runs five times.
  
• The Angels haven't lost a season series to the Blue Jays since 2007. They entered this four-game set having won 12 of their last 15 games against Toronto, including seven of their last eight at Rogers Centre.

Thanks for moderating that!

[o2cui2i]

PG version.... Gotta wonder if the commissioners office has anything to say about it. It's something that happens regularly, but doesn't get caught on camera often, so usually it's all good.

[King]

No one on the bench even batted an eye
