Notes:
Orioles::
Chris Davis and McLouth have enjoyed some nice games against the Jays so far. Chris Davis is 2/7 with a homer (his MLB leading 27th) and McLouth has hit .417 in the last games against Toronto. McLouth though is 1/11 with 5Ks against Johnson, and Davis will meet Johnson for the first time in his career.
With Ishkiawa on the major league roster, this gives the chance to have Davis DHing every game. He's DH'd 4 straight games and the Os had a day off as well. This helps with him getting less fatigued because he's played all but 1 game so far for the Os
Freddy Garcia's 8.16 ERA in the last 3 starts were enough to demote him to the bullpen as a long man, and pitched an inning last Wednesday against the Detroit Tigers. He gets the spot start for today's game though.
Jays:
Reyes had a nice game in Buffalo, going 2/4 last night as the Bisons won 6-3 against the Durham Bulls. He should be called up for Monday's series against the Rays. Maurio Gomez is enjoying a nice time with Buffalo as he hit two out last night, giving him 21 on the year and leading the IL in homers.
Jays have hit 9 homers in the 5 games at home so far against the Rockies and Orioles as they look to sweep their 3rd straight series, 2nd at home.
How about Adam Lind and his hot streak and his good matchups? He's 7/11 against Freddy Garcia with two long balls, and he's 20/40 (.500!) against the O's this year with two homers as well! With Bautista looking to build on his homer, and Reyes coming back, this team could retake the pre-season idea of being the strongest team in the East.
Johnson has been super unlucky this year. After coming off the DL, he's posted an amazing 1.86 ERA with 20Ks in 19.1 IP, but his record is 0-1 as he's only received 13 runs in total in support across 7 starts.
In the current winning streak, the Jays have hit to a .333 average and 18 homers to give them 5.7 runs per game on average
