Making Canada Proud

Drew Hutchison is thrilling the Toronto fans through three innings. He retired the first nine batters, six on strikeouts. Marco Estrada served up another long ball, this time to Jose Bautista as the Blue Jays lead the Brewers 1-0 in the bottom of the third inning.

Update: Hutchinson strikes out two more in a perfect fourth. The Jays still lead 1-0.

Update: With two out in the fifth, Khris Davis hits a ball up the middle that Jose Reyes fields. Reyes can’t get off a strong throw, however, and Davis is safe at first. That goes as a hit and the no-hitter is gone, but I could see how a generous official scorer could charge an error there. If Reyes doesn’t lollipop the ball, he might have thrown Davis out.

Milwaukee does not score in the fifth, and the Blue Jays continue to lead 1-0.

Update: It seems Estrada is required to allow a home run every four innings as Colby Rasmus takes him deep in the bottom of the fifth for a 2-0 Toronto lead.
