Blue Jays face curveball machine in BP
Josh Donaldson and the Blue Jays are looking to snap an early-season offensive slump. (MLB)TORONTO -- Looking to break an ice cold offensive start, the majority of the Blue Jays' lineup took the field early for an extended batting practice prior to their series opener against the Orioles on Thursday.
Toronto's session included rounds hitting off the curveball machine as they look to rebound from a shutout loss that capped two straight losses to the Milwaukee Brewers.
"They were working on the breaking ball," said manager John Gibbons before the game. "The machine was feeding it. But these guys work all the time. They work together, they work every day. Sometimes to the extreme."
