11:57PM Eastern Coming into their series with the New York Yankees, the Blue Jays were looking pretty rough.  They’d just been swept by the Rays and had lost four out of five overall to drop to within a game of the .500 mark and they had their fourth and fifth starters going against a powerful [...]

12:15AM Eastern Going into this series, it was the hope of most Blue Jays fans that Target Field would be the cure for what had ailed Jose Bautista in the early part of this season.

2:54AM Eastern The Blue Jays and Twins waited out a one hour and 51-minute rain delay before getting things started, which made for an awfully long  night.  Then Kyle Drabek and Carlos Villanueva combined to walk seven batters over the course of the first four innings, which made the odds of losing pretty much impossible [...]
