    ABOUT LAST NIGHT...:The Blue Jays offense was largely absent save for one inning on Thursday night. Other than a three-run, four-hit outburst in the sixth inning thatgave them a brief lead, the bats were held without a hit in the other eight innings as Blueeld fell to the Kingsport Mets 4-3 at Hunter Wright Stadium. The Jays trailed 2-0 throuve and were hitless against Mets starter John Gant. Dickie Joe Thon led off the inning with his rst home run of the season that broke up the no-no and the shutout. Two battelater, Dwight Smith doubled before scoring on Art Charles double that tied the game at two. With two outs and Gant relieved by Flabio Ortega, Matt Dean smacked a single up tmiddle to score Charles and put Blueeld in front. The lead would be short lived. In the bottom half of the inning, Kingsport tied it against Justin James with two-out single, a wipitch and Maikis De La Cruzs triple. The Mets scored in similar fashion the next inning to win it after Joe Spano issued a two-out walk and wild pitch before Gavin Cecchini singhome Brandon Kaupe. As they did the night before, the Blue Jays showed signs of life in the ninth. Facing Shane Bay, Dean worked a one-out walk and moved into scoring posion a wild pitch. However, Carlos Ramirez struck out swinging and pinch-hitter Seth Conner did the same to end the game as Bay recorded a six-out save.

    VS. THE METS:The Blue Jays dominated the Mets in 2011, especially at Bowen Field. Blueeld won ve of six meetings, including a three-game home sweep from July 1by a combined score of 17-3. Two weeks later in Kingsport, the Jays won two out of three. The Mets were able to hold Art Charles at bay for the most part. Charles was only 3-21 (.143) against the Mets in 2011, though he did drive in ve runs in six games.

    NORRIS:One of the most highly-touted prospects in the Toronto farm system will makes his third appearance tonight. Lefty Daniel Norris pitched four perfect innings and the win on Opening Day, but he was roughed up for four runs in four innings against Johnson City on Sunday. The 2011 second-round pick was rated by Baseball America as thfourth-best prospect in the Jays entire organization. In 2011 BA ranked him second among high-school prospects and 91st overall. The former Clemson signee struck out 123 ters in 68 innings as a senior at Science Hill HS in his native Johnson City, TN.

    MONTGOMERY: 19-year-old righty Christian Montgomery starts the middle game of the series for the Mets. Selected by New York in the 11th round in last years drhe didnt sign until the deadline in 2011, so his debut came on Saturday against Greenville. He allowed four runs (three earned) on two hits in four and two-thirds innings, walkthree and striking out four. He did not get the decision and the bullpen lost the suspended game 9-5. At 6-1/230, the Indianapolis native attended Lawrence Central High Schoohad planned on going to Chipola College (which also produced Jose Bautista and Russell Martin) before signing with the Mets.

    STRUGGLING IN BIG SPOTS:The main culprit during Blueelds 3-6 stretch has been a slumping offense, especially in the critical moments of the game. The Blue Jare hitting .212 as a team, which is the second-lowest batting average in the Appalachian League (Pulaski is at a paltry .180). Its even more glaring when looking at their situ-ational hitting statistics. The team average drops to .192 with men on base, .156 with runners in scoring position and .103 with runners scoring position and two outs.

    0-SNAP:Outelder Carlos Ramirez had his hitting streak snapped at seven games last night. The Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic native was hitting .346 (9-for-26) withit in every game he played before going 0-for-3 with a walk.

    BUT OTHER STREAKS CONTINUE:Ramirez at least drew a walk last night and although he also went hitless, outelder Jacob Anderson also reached on a free passboth players extended their on-base streaks to eight games. Anderson is only hitting .172, but his OBP is .368 over the course of his run, which is nearly 40 points above the leaaverage.

    NO NO-NO, NO SHUTOUT:After being no-hit by Johnson City for eight and two-thirds innings on Sunday, Blueeld was held without a base hit for the rst ve inninglast night in Kingsport. But shortstop Dickie Joe Thon led off the sixth against starter John Gant with a solo home run that ended the no-hit bid and put the Jays on the scoreboa

    It was Thons rst homer of the season and his rst run batted in since his big three-run double on Opening Day in Bristol.WORK OF ART:Art Charles knocked a game-tying RBI double in the sixth inning last night and has now reached base in all ten Blue Jays games this season. Princetons JAlexander.is the only other player to reach in every game so far in 2012, but his OBP is dwarfed by that of Charles (.524 to .359). Arts on-base streak dating back to last seaso
