Knocking him down doesn’t work.
The Baltimore Orioles have tried that over the years.
Pitching to him didn’t work this weekend.
Old reliable Jose Bautista swung the most effective lumber as the Blue Jays took two of three from the Orioles, including a 10-4 roger-over-and-out, finale Sunday afternoon as helicopters — part of the annual Toronto air show circled over head at times.
Bautista hit a two-run homer in the first and doubled home a run in the sixth as the Jays won the series despite having Josh Donaldson and Edwin Encarnacion each go hitless in two games.
