The "spoilers of people we don't totally want to spoil" tour continues!
Tonight, Gant faces off against Cy Young contender Robbie Ray. That doesn't seem to be a good matchup for the home team, but that really hasn't mattered so far against the Jays, much to everyone but New York's chagrin.
Little Nicky wouldn't leave after the ceremony. First, he had a mock fight with Josh Donaldson in the Twins dugout. Then, he was yelling back and forth with all the umpires culminating with one of them giving Punto the "call me" signal. Finally, he was hollering into the Blue Jays dugout until they finally herded him off the field.
But did he slide into first?
Early farm report:
The Saints scored three in the first and lead Iowa 4-2 in the fifth. Drew Strotman is pitching for St. Paul.
Cedar Rapids and Quad Cities are scoreless through three. Sawyer Gipson-Long has struck out seven. A Kernels win would give them the High-A Central/West championship. A loss would force them to a deciding fifth game tomorrow night.
Yankees won again but at least looks like Jays won't lose ground.
