Jays bounced back to kick the Royals asses today ...

 

NY Mets & Yankees both lost.

 

Ya the Jays lost to the Orioles too (3-1) but your teams do it all again this afternoon against the same teams and the Yankees beat the White Sox on Monday so this is the rubber match ...

 

Too lazy to find a soccer thread so I will just say that Toronto FC beat the Montreal Impact in injury time and literally in the last second after more than 4 minutes of additional time after a poorly officiated match with an ill awarded red card to the Impact (Patrice Bernier) to top it all off ...

There is NO love loss between these two teams and it showed in this game !!!

 

Former NY Mets pitcher dead at 51. Anthony Young, died from an apparent brain tumor. He was known as the man who lost 27 consecutive games.

In honour of Canada's 150th birthday, TSN.ca looks at the iconic moments in Canadian sports history. Here's a look at memorable times from baseball.

 

Report: Jays sign international FA Pardinho


The Toronto Blue Jays have signed international free agent pitching prospect Eric Pardinho to a $1.4 million deal. Pardhino, from Brazil, is number five on MLB Pipeline's top 30 international prospects.

 

Rangers acquire P Grilli from Blue Jays


Jason Grilli will continue his career with the Texas Rangers as the Toronto Blue Jays have dealt him along with cash considerations for outfielder Eduard Pinto.

 

Yankees trade, give away or lose 3/4ths of their bullpen from last year (which was probably the best in baseball), now they can't get anyone out after the fifth inning.

 

Today they couldn't get anyone out in the 2nd, 4th, 6th and 7th either and the Astro's scored 3, 2, 1 and 2 in those innings before the Yankee's finally scored 1 in the 9th to break the shutout ... 8-1, Houston is at 56-27 in the AL.

But if you think that's bad, The Red Sox beat the Jays 15-1 today !!!

 

Anyone happen to catch this epic rundown fail, or incredible base running play depending on who you cheer for ???

WATCH: Brewers' Orlando Arcia survives rundown, scores from first on infield single
Orlando Arcia can't stop, won't stop

On Monday, the Brewers slow-roasted the Orioles by a score of 8-1 (box score), and along the way Milwaukee shortstop Orlando Arcia could not stop because he would not stop. What are we talking about? We're talking about what follows, which is action-news footage of Mr. Arcia's 80-grade evasive tactics ...

Upshot: Arcia scored from first on an infield single by the pitcher. Basically, he hustled from first to third, slid past the bag at third, proceeded toward home, wound up in a pickle, and used all available baserunner-ly wiles to score a run. Some will reference Benny the Jet from "The Sandlot," who pulled off similar wing-footed sorcery. That, though, was fiction. Orlando Arcia is as real as a Buick filled with eagles.

So what came first, Orlando Arcia's unwillingness to stop or his inability to stop? Yes, is the answer.

All(-Star's) rise! Judge rules in Derby debut

MIAMI -- All rise. Again, again and again. Aaron Judge lived up to the hype of his remarkable rookie campaign by slamming nearly four miles of home runs on Monday evening at Marlins Park, including four drives of more than 500 feet, crowning the Yankees' slugger as the newest champion of the T-Mobile Home Run Derby.

Judge overcame 22 first-round blasts from Justin Bour of the Marlins and a dozen long balls from the Dodgers' Cody Bellinger in the second. Judge slammed 11 homers in the finals to defeat Miguel Sano of the Twins, finishing with 1:53 still on the clock.

"I had no pressure going into it. I'm a rookie," Judge said. "This is my first time doing it. For me, I've got no expectations. I'm just going to go in there and have some fun and see what we can do tonight. It was a blast. I enjoyed every minute of it -- watching the other guys swing, coming here early and talking to the media. Everything about today was fantastic."

An anticipated matchup between Judge and hometown hero Giancarlo Stanton of the Marlins never materialized, as last year's champion was knocked out in the first round by Gary Sanchez, 17-16.

"I honestly didn't think about [facing Stanton]," Judge said. "I was trying to get out of the first round."


Judge wins 2017 HR Derby
Aaron Judge makes his presence felt in Miami, launching 47 home runs en route to the 2017 T-Mobile Home Run Derby championship

Judge was initially booed but won over the crowd of 37,027, hitting a total of 47 homers against just 29 "outs." The first rookie to win the Derby outright (the Angels' Wally Joyner was a co-champion in 1986), Judge hit 16 homers with exit velocities of 115 mph or harder, and to all fields of the ballpark.


Judge receives trophy from Torre
MLB executive and former Yankees manager Joe Torre awards Aaron Judge the 2017 T-Mobile Home Run Derby title
"He's so quiet and simple that he looks like a contact hitter trapped in an ogre's body," the Rockies' Charlie Blackmon said. "I don't know that the game has ever seen a power like that. Stanton has the most velocity, but I think Judge is going to be a really interesting career to follow."
