News
Blue Jays short stop Yunel Escobar drove in his 13th run of the season during Sunday's contest against the Twins. Escobar roped an RBI single off reliever Jared Burton in the eighth inning. He would come around to score on a wild pitch later in the frame and finished 1 for 4 with a RBI in the 4-3 defeat.

News
Coming off one of his worst starts of the season, Blue Jays pitcher Drew Hutchison posted his finest start on Saturday, limiting the Twins to just one earned run on three hits to pick up his second win of the season, 2-1. Hutchison struggled with his control, walking four, however he also struck out four and allowed just a single extra-base hit, a double by Brian Dozier. Other than that, Hutchison stymied the Twins in six innings to pick up his first quality start of the season.

News
Toronto starter Brandon Morrow only allowed one earned run on Monday night against Tampa Bay. Unfortunately, he also watched some ugly defense behind him, especially on a dropped strike three call that prolonged his final inning, and five more runs crossed during his time on the mound. The six total runs scored against him were more than enough for Tampa to pull the win and beat Morrow, dropping his record to 4-2 on the season and snapping his four-game winning streak. Morrow allowed six runs -- one earned -- on four hits and four walks over five innings, throwing 90 pitches. He struck out seven in the performance and his ERA is now at 2.22, which is still very solid.

News
Blue Jays third baseman Brett Lawrie was ejected in the ninth inning of Tuesday's game against the Rays after hitting the umpire with his helmet. He was called out on strikes and threw his helmet in anger, which bounced off the ground and hit home plate umpire Bill Miller. ''Upon seeing that he was ejected, he took several steps toward me and fired his helmet. It hit me in the right hip,'' Miller said. Lawrie went 1 for 3 with a stolen base in the 4-3 loss. ''That was not my intention at all,'' Lawrie said. ''I've never, ever done anything to go at an umpire before in my life, and I didn't mean to tonight. I apologize for that."

News
Blue Jays closer Casey Janssen pitched his perfect ninth inning in a row on Saturday against the Twins to pick up his second save in as many tries since being moved into that role. Janssen preserved a 2-1 lead by striking out one and allowing no baserunners in the game.

	Henderson Alvarez, #37

News
Blue Jays pitcher Henderson Alvarez looked sharp in his outing against the Rays on Tuesday but received little help from his defense. He allowed four runs (two earned) on 10 hits over 6 2/3 innings in the 4-3 loss. The right-hander gave up just one run over his first six frames before running into trouble in the seventh. In that inning, he surrendered a leadoff homer to Sean Rodriguez before a couple of errors allowed two more runs to cross the plate. Alvarez also struck out one with no walks while taking his third loss of the season.

News
After hitting just one home run during the first month of the season, Toronto first baseman Adam Lind has shown signs of a turnaround in the early portion of May. Lind has drilled two homers and driven in four runs in the first 10 games. "I'm feeling better than I was a week ago," Lind told MLB.com on Sunday. "I know it's a process and hopefully the process is nearing an end." Lind has averaged 28 homers over the past three years.

News
The Toronto Blue Jays recalled relief pitcher Evan Crawford from Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday while optioning fellow reliever Joel Carreno to Double-A New Hampshire. Crawford was sent to the minors earlier this month in order to clear a roster spot for Carreno.

News
Blue Jays pitcher Ricky Romero was handed his first loss of the season during Sunday afternoon's contest against the Twins. Romero, who was making his eighth start of the year, allowed four runs on nine hits over 5 1/3 innings in the 4-3 defeat. Most of the damage the left-hander surrendered came in the fifth inning, including a two-run single off the bat of Ryan Doumit, which forced Romero from the game. He was pulled after throwing 99 pitches and finished with five walks, while failing to record a strikeout. "It's mechanics," he said. "I'm rushing through my delivery. I worked on it all week. This game just tests you sometimes mentally. You just got to stay mentally strong and just continue to work."
