Two games today, one against the Canadian Junior Team, one against the Braves. Let's look at the Braves game first:
Blue Jays 10 Braves 5
Marco Estrada had a much better showing than his last one. Marco went 3 innings, allowed 3 hits, no runs, 1 walk with 2 strikeouts. Nice to see him bounce back from the 7 runs he gave up last time out. His ERA is now 9.39.
The bad news, Ramon Santiago was taken to hospital for X-rays after injuring his shoulder/collar bone making a diving catch. Very bad for Santiago, who had a shot a the utility infielder job. Hoping it doesn't turn out as bad as people there are making it sound.
Other pitchers:
- Todd Redmond: 2 innings, 3 hits, 1 earned, 1 k. He has a 1.80 ERA.
- Scott Copeland: 2 innings, 5 hits, 4 earned, 1 k, 1 home run. 7.20.

They didn't take it easy on the kids.
