Top #BlueJays prospect Arjun Nimmala is officially in the books for the Vancouver Canadians. His first 2 knocks in High-A are a pair of line drive singles. Loud contact, smooth swing. He’s 2-for-3 after 5 innings tonight.

Fantastic pro debut for #BlueJays 5th rounder Jackson Wentworth in Pasco tonight. 5 IP / 0 R/ 3 H / 2 BB / 6 K. Faced 19 batters, threw 76 pitches (46 strikes) and stranded four men in scoring position. He’s in line for the win with the Vancouver Canadians in front 3-0.

The first three-hit game of the season from a Vancouver Canadians hitter? None other than Arjun Nimmala. His 3 singles pace the offence tonight. The teen phenom has looked every bit the part at the dish.

Arjun Nimmala just hit the furthest homer I’ve seen in 5 seasons of coming to Gesa Stadium. Landed on the soccer fields outside of the ballpark. His first Vancouver Canadians homer is an absolute mammoth tank to make it 5-0 C’a in the 4th.

Nobody - and I mean NOBODY - does it like Tyler Murray. Master class in meeting the moment last night in Boston. Back up the Brinks truck and sign him for life MSG Networks

Trey Yesavage just walked quite the tightrope safely to the other side for the Vancouver Canadians. The no. 2 #BlueJays prospect loaded the bases on an infield single and 2 walks, but got a weak pop up then struck out the 1 and 2 hitters to leave ‘em loaded. C’s trail 2-0 after 2.

Not to be outdone by his fellow top prospect, Arjun Nimmala just cranked his Northwest League-leading 8th homer of the year. His go-ahead 3-run shot makes it 3-2 Vancouver Canadians and backs Yesavage, who heads to the hill for the bottom of the 3rd

Trey Yesavage’s Vancouver Canadians debut is over. His final line: 4 IP / 2 H / 2 R / 3 BB / 10 K He finished the night by striking out 6 of the last 7 hitters he faced. A strong first bullet point on his High-A resume.

Another strong showing from no. 2 #BlueJays prospect Trey Yesavage: 4 IP / 1 H / 0 R / 3 BB / 9 K 73 pitches, 45 strikes Gage Stanifer is in with the Vancouver Canadians leading 2-0 in Eugene.

Khal Stephen’s 3rd start for the Vancouver Canadians: 6 IP / 3 H / 2 R / 1 ER / 0 BB / 11 K That’s a new career best K total for Khal and the most in a game by a C’s pitcher this year

Another day, another dominant showing for Vancouver Canadians starter Trey Yesavage: 5 IP / 1 R / 2 H / 1 BB / 9 K He faced the minimum in 3 of 5 frames and threw over 15 pitches in an inning just once The top #BlueJays pitching prospect has now K’ed 33 in 17.1 IP

Big time homer from Vancouver Canadians shortstop and top #BlueJays prospect Arjun Nimmala. His team-best 11th bomb of the year is a two-run shot to put the C’s up 9-6 in the 6th, right after Eugene scored three in the 5th to get within a run.

The finest start for #9 Toronto Blue Jays prospect Khal Stephen this year? Tonight in Everett. 6.0 IP / 2 H / 0 R / 1 BB / 6 K One of the two hits and the lone walk came in the 6th. Had a three-ball count twice over 20 batters faced. Vancouver Canadians lead the ‘Sox 3-0 at the stretch.

Another magnificent showing from no. 9 #BlueJays prospect Khal Stephen in Hillsboro tonight. He logs his team-best 5th quality start for the Vancouver Canadians with six innings of one-run ball. His final line: 6 IP / 1 R / 3 H / 0 BB / 5 K C’s lead 4-1 at the stretch.

For the first time since June 17, Arjun Nimmala has left the building. His 12th homer of the year is a two-out, two-strike, two-run shot in the top of the 1st to put the Vancouver Canadians up 2-0 in Pasco. #BlueJays

The Vancouver Canadians just turned an INCREDIBLE triple play. Munson➡️Nimmala➡️Cunningham➡️Duran C’s lead 6-2 after 7 in Spokane.

🚨 1-6-3-2 TRIPLE PLAY 🚨 The Toronto Blue Jays' Aaron Munson, Arjun Nimmala, Carter Cunningham and Edward Duran combine for the unconventional feat for the Vancouver Canadians.

Fun John Schneider story re: rain delays and the Yankees. During the 2018 EL semifinals with the New Hampshire Fisher Cats, he convinced the umpires to not postpone the clincher at Trenton. Game didn’t start until 11pm and ended after 1am. The Fisher Cats won it all that year… #BlueJays
