TORONTO (AP) — David Hess had done everything right http://www.giantsfanproshop.com/authentic-evan-longoria-jersey , taking a no-hitter into the seventh inning in his first start of the season. Brandon Hyde pointed to the bullpen.Hess was pulled after 6 1/3 hitless innings, and the Baltimore Orioles bullpen couldn’t see the no-hit bid through in a 6-5 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday night. The 25-year-old right-hander struck out eight and walked one, but Hyde pulled him after 82 pitches. Hess also threw 42 pitches in relief Thursday on opening day.“I was shocked because I knew my pitch count was decently low,” Hess said.Reliever Pedro Araujo replaced Hess, walked Justin Smoak, and then allowed a two-run homer to Randal Grichuk for Toronto’s first hit.Hyde said he had planned to pull Hess earlier, possibly after five innings, but let him stretch his pitch count more than expected because he was throwing so well. The effort helped Baltimore win its third straight and get its first victory in Toronto since Sept. 13, 2017. The Orioles lost all 10 games in Canada last year.It was the second-longest scoreless outing of Hess’s young career, just shy of the 6 2/3 innings he went last May at Tampa Bay.Hyde was booed when he walked to the mound to fetch Hess, but the skipper had no regrets.“For David to go beyond that (pitch count) obviously and then some, was incredible Brandon Belt Jersey ,” Hyde said. “But that was a terrible walk. I hated to do it, but for David’s health and one of, hopefully, 30-plus starts, it was the right thing to do.”Baltimore’s offense was sparked by Jonathan Villar’s first home run of the season in the first inning, with Trey Mancini providing the winning margin with his second homer of the year in the seventh inning.Left-hander Richard Bleier picked up his first save of the season.It was the second time this season the Blue Jays have been no-hit into the seventh inning. Detroit right-hander Jordan Zimmermann retired 20 Toronto batters on opening day before Teoscar Hernandez singled to end his perfect game.Manager Charlie Montoyo acknowledged that his team has struggled when it comes to offense.“I’m not going to defend our offense right now, but I know we’re going to hit,” he said. “That’s what they do. They have a past, they have a record and we’re going to hit. We’re just not hitting right now.”After a team-record 24 consecutive scoreless innings from the Blue Jays starters to begin the season, things unraveled early for Sean Reid-Foley (0-1). Recalled from Triple-A Buffalo to make his eighth career start, he endured a rough outing, giving up five hits and five runs http://www.giantsfanproshop.com/authentic-evan-longoria-jersey , three earned, while walking two and striking out three in two innings.SLOW STARTERSFor the fourth time in five games to open the season, the Blue Jays saw their first nine batters sent down in succession, going just 1 for 46 in the opening three innings of their games.SPARSE CROWDThe announced crowd of 10,460 was the smallest crowd at Toronto’s Rogers Centre since April 19, 2010, when 10,314 showed up to see the Blue Jays play Kansas City.TRAINER’S ROOMBlue Jays: Top prospect Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (strained oblique) has resumed baseball activities after being out since March 8, making appearances in extended spring training in Dunedin, Florida. Toronto’s plan is to have the third baseman report to Triple-A Buffalo at some point but is mindful of the cold weather in Western New York and doesn’t want him to reinjure himself. … RHP Clay Bucholtz (right flexor) will throw 60 pitches on Tuesday and 75 on April 7, and could be in line to pitch against Tampa on April 13. … RHP Ryan Tepera (right elbow) and LHP Ryan Borucki (left elbow) are scheduled to throw side sessions on Wednesday.Orioles: Renato Nunez served as designated hitter once again on Monday, but Hyde said the biceps soreness that limited him in spring training has subsided somewhat http://www.giantsfanproshop.com/authentic-evan-longoria-jersey , allowing him to play first or third base if required.UP NEXTOrioles: RHP Andrew Cashner (0-1, 13.50) makes his sixth career start in Toronto, aiming to improve on the 1-2 record he has posted at Rogers Centre.Blue Jays: After pitching seven scoreless innings on opening day, RHP Marcus Stroman (0-0, 0.00) makes his second start of the season, having won his only start against the Orioles last season, allowing just one run over seven innings. LOS ANGELES (AP) — Manny Machado caught his wife’s first pitch before the game and hit a three-run homer to notch the first 100 RBI season of his career.“It can’t get any better than this,” Machado said.Except maybe reaching the World Series and winning.The Dodgers‘ 7-2 victory over the San Diego Padres kept their NL West lead at 1 ½ games over Colorado, which won 5-1 at Arizona.Machado had been eager for a memorable moment since being traded to the Dodgers on July 18 from Baltimore.He borrowed a page from a popular script: homering on his bobblehead night.“We fed off that,” manager Dave Roberts said. “He’s trying like heck and he wants that signature moment. Hopefully tonight alleviated some of the pressure for him.” Machado’s homer was one of three by the Dodgers in the game, giving them a National League-leading 222 on the season and breaking the club record of 221 set last year.“We have great hitters here,” Machado said. “We’re all confident. We know the team we have.” Rich Hill became the Dodgers’ first 10-game winner Mark Melancon Jersey , allowing one run and four hits in seven innings. The left-hander struck out seven and walked none.Hill (10-5) has been stellar since the All-Star break with an 8-1 record. In his 12 second-half starts, the Dodgers are 9-3.“I’m just excited we won and we’re keeping pace here,” Hill said.Machado caught a nice toss from his wife Yainee Alonso, whose brother is Indians first baseman Yonder Alonso.“I think she’s got the best (arm) in the family,” Machado said.Then reminiscent of Manny Ramirez (2009) and Yasiel Puig (2015) homering on their bobblehead nights, Machado launched his 36th long ball of the season to right-center on the first pitch from rookie Jacob Nix (2-4). Machado had 24 homers with Baltimore before being traded on July 18.Fans responded with chants of “Manny! Manny!”The Dodgers batted around in the third, when Justin Turner doubled down the left-field line to drive in a pair of runs. Machado’s shot scored Turner and Max Muncy, who was hit by Nix, giving the Dodgers a 6-0 lead. Yasmani Grandal hit his 24th homer off Brad Wieck in the sixth and Joc Pederson went deep in the first for his seventh leadoff homer of the season.San Diego’s first run came on Hunter Renfroe’s 25th homer with two outs in the sixth, leaving him one shy of tying his career high set last year.The Dodgers’ bullpen struggled in the ninth.After getting a quick out, Yimi Garcia allowed a double to Austin Hedges. Tony Cingrani came on and hit Eric Hosmer before giving up a single to Wil Myers that loaded the bases. Manuel Margot followed with an RBI single.That forced Roberts to bring in closer Kenley Jansen, who struck out the final two batters to earn his 37th save.“I didn’t expect to use him Deion Sanders Jersey ,” Roberts said.Nix gave up a career-high-tying six runs and six hits in 2 1/3 innings. He struck out two and walked none.“Made the mistake to Machado and the mistake to Cody Bellinger, and I paid for it,” he said.LASORDA’S BIRTHDAYHall of Fame manager Tom Lasorda turned 91 on Saturday, and the sellout crowd of 53,536 cheered him when he was shown on the videoboard. He’s in his record 69th season with the Dodgers, the longest tenure anyone has had with the franchise in Brooklyn and Los Angeles. Lasorda led the club to World Series titles in 1981 and ’88.FAN ON FIELDA man ran onto the field from the third-base side in the middle of the eighth inning. He reached center field, where he was quickly tackled by about nine security personnel. They removed him through the center field gate.UP NEXTLHP Joey Lucchesi (8-8, 3.74 ERA) goes for the Padres in the series finale. The third straight rookie to start in the series, Lucchesi is 0-2 with a 5.00 ERA in two starts against LA. LHP Hyun-Jin Ryu (5-3, 2.18) starts the Dodgers’ last home game before they end the regular season on the road. Ryu has given up three earned runs in 11 2/3 innings of two starts against the Padres.
