The Jays get 3 more wins against 3 NL teams in Philly, Miami and Milwaukee. They are now 20-4 on the season and rolling, but face a tough Boston team thats right behind them in the standings and have beat the Jays 2/2 games. The Pitching has seemed to be righted while the bats are still churning and thus the Jays are on a roll. The MLB Draft has came and gone. With the 1st pick the Jays took 3B Valentino Bochy. He will take over stating 3B for AAA for now.
