Biagini shows he has what it takes to start

TORONTO -- Joe Biagini is no longer a pitcher in transition. After throwing a career-high seven innings and 100 pitches in Saturday's 7-0 loss to New York, the right-hander has been fully stretched out into a starter who looks capable of eating up quality innings at the Major League level.

"He had it all working," said manager John Gibbons. "He had a good curveball today, good fastball. He's slowly turning into a pretty good looking starter. What happens down the road this season, I couldn't tell you yet. But it's nice to watch."

Down the road waits the return of Aaron Sanchez -- who is on the disabled list again with a blister, but is expected to play catch for the first time in the next couple of days.
