Today in Blue Jay History: 1998: In the Blue Jays' 2 - 1 victory over the Tigers, Detroit pinch-hitter Bobby Higginson homers with two outs off Blue Jay Roy Halladay to spoil the rookie's bid for a no-hitter. Halladay comes within one out of allowing no hits in only his second major league start.

#Brewers have acquired C Yorvit Torrealba @Yorvit08 (59g .233 4hr 14rbi) from Toronto for cash. He will be in uniform tomorrow wearing #3.

Not only will the Blue Jays no longer permit Yunel Escobar to write messages on his eye-black, it appears the black patches will soon be considered equipment and fall under Major League Baseball rules preventing any markings whatsoever, said GM Alex Anthopoulos.

Farrell expects to meet Fri w Escobar before SS returns from ban. Says not first time they've met to talk. Other times for "baseball things"
