    ABOUT LAST NIGHT...:After the Blue Jays took the series opener from the Braves 8-6 on Sunday, the second game of the set was rained out Monday. The two teams tto nish the series with a doubleheader on Tuesday, but rain forced another postponement. With that being the Braves nal trip to Blueeld, the games will be made up when tJays visit Danville from August 17-19.

    VS. THE BRAVES:The Blue Jays won three of the rst ve games in this years Mercer Cup series. The Rays and Jays split two one-run games in Blueeld before the thirgame was rained out. Jeremy Gabryszwski and Grifn Murphy combined for a shutout in Princeton on Friday, then the two clubs split a doubleheader at Bowen Field on SaturdaThe Blue Jays defeated Princeton in seven of 11 games last year to win the Mercer Cup. They took three of four in Princeton from June 30 to July 3 before dropping a July 4 meing at home, 5-4. Princeton won two of three at Bowen Field at the end of July in a set that included a doubleheader split. So the Mercer Cup was tied 4-4 with three games to pin Blueeld on August 9-11. The Jays won 6-2, then Deivy Estrada pitched ve shutout innings the next night to win the clincher and keep the Rays from retiring the Cup.

    - TONIGHTS PITCHING PROBABLES -COMER: Baseball Americas 17th-ranked Blue Jays prospect aims to get back on track. Righty Kevin Comer pitched to a 2.25 ERA in his rst three professional appearancbut in his last three he has allowed ten earned runs in 12 innings (7.50 ERA). Last Tuesday against Princeton, he tossed four and one-third innings of relief, allowing four runs (tearned). He came two outs short of nishing the game, but still recorded the victory in the Mercer Cup opener. He was a supplemental rst-round pick (57th overall) in 2011 aftMiguel Olivo signed with Seattle. After the Shamong, NJ native pitched his Seneca HS team to the Group 3 state championship, the Blue Jays bought Comer out of his commitmto Vanderbilt with a $1.65 million signing bonus. Baseball America says the right-hander has a clean arm action and delivery, and he gets good angle to his pitches. They addthat he has a live fastball that generally sits around (91-93). He also throws a curve that some scouts think will be a plus pitch in time.

    JAMES: Six-foot-four southpaw Kevin James draws another series-opening start against Blueeld as he opposed Roberto Osuna in the rst Mercer Cup contest last TuesHe allowed a leadoff double to Jorge Vega-Rosado, stranded him at third with strikeouts of Santiago Nessy and Art Charles, but left the game after one inning due to a cut on hispitching hand. In his last full start on July 12, he picked up the win at Danville with ve shutout innings. James was chosen by the Rays in the ninth round of the 2009 draft outof Whitesh Bay HS in Wisconsin, where he was named the states Player of the Year by Louisville Slugger and the states top prospect by Baseball America. After two brief stinin the Gulf Coast League in 2009 and 2010, he moved up to Princeton in 2011 and posted a 7.91 ERA in 11 relief outings. One of those was against Blueeld on June 30, 2011 which he allowed ve runs (four earned) in three and two-thirds innings.

    MOVE ON UP:The Blue Jays have promoted Blueelds top slugger and pitcher. Both rst baseman Art Charles and 17-year-old righty Roberto Osuna have been sent upto Short Season-A Vancouver. Charles leads the team in homers (six), triples (three), runs (18), OBP (.459), SLG (.576) and OPS (1.035). His OBP and 32 walks lead the circuit, hranks fourth in sluggling and his OPS is second only to Elizabethtons Romy Jimenez. The Bakerseld, CA native led the Appy League with 61 RBIs in Blueeld last season. Osunwowed as a Baby Jay, pitching to a 1.50 ERA with 24 strikeouts in 24 innings in his rst professional action in the U.S.

    RAIN RAIN GO AWAY:The Blue Jays have been rained out on back-to-back nights, throwing the schedule into disarray. They will play doubleheaders on consecutive din Danville on August 17 and 18. Two days later, theyll host another twinbill against the Pulaski Mariners to make up for a July 3 postponement. A week earlier, on August 10, Jays will complete the July 9 game against Burlington that was suspended due to rain with Blueeld ahead 1-0 in the bottom of the rst inning. Bristol and Pulaski also had thedoubleheader washed out last night, as was yesterdays Cardinals-Rays series nale in Princeton. This week marks the rst time that Blueeld has dealt with back-to-back rainsince 2010 when they were a Baltimore afliate. They were rained out on August 17 in Princeton, then after a scheduled off day their home date against Bristol was also postpo

    MILESTONE WATCH:Blue Jays manager Dennis Holmberg is closing in on his 1,300th win in professional baseball. Over 25 seasons as a minor league skipper, he has a

    career record of 1,293-1,199. After eight seasons as a third baseman/outelder in the Milwaukee system he began his managerial career at age 25 in 1977 with the Newark CPilots, the Brewers farm team in the New York-Penn League. He then joined the Blue Jays in 1978 as a minor league instructor and has been with the organization ever since.He has spent 24 seasons as a manager and eight as a coach in the Toronto system. He also spent the 1994 and 1995 seasons as the bullpen coach for the big league club.Holmberg has piloted ten playoff teams, including last years Appy League runner-up in Blueeld. It was Blueelds rst postseason tirp since 2002. From 2002 to 2007 his AubDoubledays made six straight postseasons, including a New York-Penn League championship run in 07.

    BROWN OUT:Side-winding righty Wil Browning pitched the ninth inning on Sunday and struck out the rst two batters out swinging. Halso whiffed Aris Alcantara, but the third strike was a wild pitch that extended the game. Josh Elander blooped a single to cut the Blueeld to 8-6, but Browning struck out Felix Marte to lock down the win for Blueeld. With four strikeouts in a one-inning save, Browning did something that has only been done three times in the major leagues. Mark Wholers (1995 ATL), Derek Wallace (1996 NYM) and Kaz Sasaki (2003SEA) have turned the trick in the bigs.
