There was a bit of news while I was busy playing poor tennis:
Bowden Francis has been put on the IL with forearm extensor tendinitis. I’m sure someone else can explain that one. Brendon Little has been called up from Buffalo. But he pitched a fair bit this spring, 8 appearances, 8 innings, 6 hits, 6 earned, 5 walks with 10 strikeouts. And 2 hit batters. In Buffalo, he’s pitched in 9 games, 9.1 innings, 7 hits, 3 earned (2.89 ERA),...Photo by MediaNews Group/Bay Area News via Getty Images
It is raining in KC, so the game might not start on time. If it is rained out, the teams each have an off-day next Thursday.
A win today would give us a split of the series, which would be nice.

Blue Jays 2 Royals 3
Our team keeps games so close so that if they aren’t perfect defensively, we lose.
We should have scored more than two runs.
But then we only had 6 hits and 3 walks.
George Springer had 2 of the hits, a double, and a solo homer in the fifth that got us our first run.
Our other run came in the sixth. Daulton Varsho started it off with a single, Danny Jansen walked. A wild pitch moved them to second and third. And an Ernie Clement...

Kevin James Kiermaier goes on the IL with inability to make contact with a baseball left hip flexor inflammation.
I hope Addison convinces the team to keep him in the lineup. Of course, I’d love to see Orelvis Martinez, too, but a step at a time.

“Barger” rhymes with “larger”, just look at his arms!
The Blue Jays have recalled infielder Addison Barger from triple-A Buffalo, a move which was first reported by Gate 14’s Johnny Giunta and confirmed by Sportsnet’s Ben Nicholson-Smith. The corresponding move may be the placement of Kevin Kiermaier on the 10-day injured list after he left Tuesday night’s game against the Royals with...
The Toronto Blue Jays had a win right in front of them until it slipped away. The moment that went from a win to a 3-2 loss to the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday night came from Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
