Blue Jays set sights for playoffs
The Toronto Blue Jays, prior to their Opening Day home game against the New York Yankees, honored the late Roy Halladay with a pregame ceremony. "I guess if you are going to be in a new city that's the way to open it up". This off-season, he wanted to get back to being a threat on the bases, so he dropped a few pounds.
Billy McKinney, one of the pieces that the Yankees received from the Aroldis Chapman trade to the Cubs, made his ML debut today. "But I got some air high-5s".
New York Yankees' Tyler Austin comes into home to score after hitting a two run home run in the fifth inning of their American League MLB baseball game against the Toronto Blue Jays, in Toronto on Saturday, March 31, 2018.
"The biggest thing was, I saw just how far off Drury was playing off the bag, so he was able to ... his lead was long enough to where (the steal) was at least in play", a smiling Maile said.
Lance McCullers scattered four hits and allowed two runs in 5 1/3 innings on the mound, and Carlos Correa had a two-run home run among his four hits as Houston rolled past at Globe Life Park in Arlington, Texas. "It was similar to my first one ever". So did big hitters Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez. There might be two-feet of snow on the ground outside the window and a chill wind may be blowing, but spring arrives with the first pitch.
Toronto took its first lead of the season on Smoak's RBI single in the first, then took a 2-0 on Smoak's RBI double in the third off CC Sabathia.
"I feel like, for the most part, the guys are in a really good place and ready to go as we tee it up tomorrow", Boone said.

The department's Professional Standards Division also is investigating to determine if officers followed department policy. Despite knowing that she hit something, police said Miller never returned to the scene to confirm that it wasn't a person.
United States trade chief to give China 60-day tariff notice
China has long said it would like to import more US high-tech goods, including high-end chips, but has been stymied by USA export controls set on national security grounds.
Other than those blasts, Toronto starter Marco Estrada pitched well in his first start of the season, going seven innings and giving up four hits, striking out two and walking three.
But the Blue Jays right-hander took little comfort in that. "He shut us down pretty good". The team is now missing José Bautista for the first time in many years, and Justin Smoak is sure to regress from his 2017 form. Now he and reigning AL Rookie of the Year Aaron Judge, who led the AL with an Major League Baseball rookie-record 52 bombs, form the scariest 1-2 power punch in Major League Baseball.
"Ultimately, that's what truly makes a good lineup over the course of 162", Boone said.
Despite the learning curve for television, Siddall said the hardest thing to remember as a commentator is what it's like out on the field as a player. NY fired Joe Girardi after the Game 7 loss to Houston in the AL Championship Series, deciding it needed a new approach. Those performances, coupled with Masahiro Tanaka's dominant eight-strikeout, six-inning outing, made for a complete early-season victory.
"Sometimes when runs are tough to come by, especially early on in the year, you've got to go out there and try to make some stuff happen", Pillar said. Toronto's two hits were its low for an opener.
"Going up there with a plan like he always does", Boone said. "A lot of hearts, prayers, the whole bit". Josh Donaldson is still great, and in a contract year has every reason to be an MVP-type player again. After Sanchez popped up to the catcher, Neil Walker earned a walk to put two runners on base.
"To say thanks for being with us, here's a special sporting treat for our pay monthly mobile and tablet customers: three months' free BT Sport on your EE phone and connected tablet", BT explains. Manager John Gibbons said he expects Donaldson to return to his position within "the next couple of days".
