    ABOUT LAST NIGHT...:Just as it was in Elizabethton last month, the Blueeld Blue Jays followed a series-opening loss and rainout with a doubleheader split. The league-leadingTwins won 7-3 for the second straight game before the Jays avoided a sweep, snapping the E-Twins eight-game win streak with a 6-4 victory at Bowen Field on Thursday. In game one, tTwins scored in each of the rst ve innings, with two runs in the second and fth. Blueeld built a picket fence with single tallies in the fourth, fth and sixth frames but it was not enoughDeivy Estrada allowed six runs, ve earned, on seven hits in four and one-third innings for Blueeld. Adam Walker hit a two-run homer off of Les Williams, but the reliever retired seven strto nish the game. Hudson Boyd did not allow a hit in three and two-thirds innings before Eric Arce knocked a solo homer to put the Jays on the board. That would be all of the damage agaBoyd, who was relieved by Chris Mazza. Mazza allowed a run in the fth and sixth, including a homer to Santiago Nessy, who homered for the fourth consecutive game. Mazza still picked the victory after Ricardo Arevalo closed it out with a 1-2-3 seventh. The Twins struck rst in the nightcap as well. Max Keplers RBI double off of Tucker Jensen handed the visitors a 1-0 lethree batters into the game before Blueeld rallied in the third inning. Emilio Guerrero stroked a two-out, two-run single and he scored later in the inning on a balk to make it 3-1. The Twinquickly tied it up in the top of the fourth after a Guerrero error, a Travis Harrison RBI triple and a Kelly Cross RBI groundout. Jensen allowed three runs, one earned, in four and two-thirdsinnings of work. Brandon Dorsett (W, 3-1) recorded the nal out of the top of the fth and picked up the win once the Baby Jays pulled ahead for good in the bottom half. With runners atsecond and third and one out, Arce ripped a single to plate both Jorge Vega-Rosado and Guerrero for a 5-3 advantage. Nico Taylor added an RBI single for the nal Blueeld run. Wil Brownset down the potential tying run in Kepler to end the sixth inning. Browning capped a 1-2-3 seventh with a ourish, striking out 2012 second-overall draft pick Byron Buxton to end the gam

    VS. THE BRAVES:The Baby Jays won the rst head-to-head matchup on July 4th 4-2 on Santiago Nessys home run, but they fell 8-6 and 13-3 to lose the three-game home serieThe two clubs played one game in Blueeld on July 22, an 8-6 Jays win, but they were rained out the next two nights to set up this busy weekend series. Nico Taylor and Eric Arce bothnotched ve hits in four games against Danville, but Felix Marte mashed for the Braves in Blueeld, hitting three home runs and driving in nine runs. The Blue Jays lost the season series toDanville in 2011, but they got the last laugh when they won the East Division title by a game after a great pennant race. Blueeld was swept in three games in the Bowen Field-opening serfrom June 24-26, but took two of three at Danville from July 8-10. The two teams were tied atop the division at 38-27 heading into the nal three games of the season at Danville. The BabJays routed the Braves 11-4 on August 28, then clinched the title the next night when ve pitchers combined on a three-hitter in a 5-1 win. Danville won the inconsequential nale 19-4, bu

    was the Jays who playoff bound for the rst time since 2002.

    - TONIGHTS PITCHING PROBABLES -GABRYSZWSKI:19-year-old righty Jeremy Gabryszwski has been the Jays top starter and it showed on Sunday against Burlington. Gabby held the Royals scoreless overa season-high six innings in a win. He allowed only ve hits and walked one, snapping his streak of 24.2 innings without issuing a free pass that dated back to July 14. His 2.40 ERA is thefourth-lowest in the Appy League and he ranks third in WHIP with a 1.04 mark. That success has come despite having a K/9 of 4.20 that is the second-lowest in the circuit, thanks in part this league-leading 0.80 BB/9 rate. The Crosby, Texas native was taken in the second round of last years draft, splitting time between the Gulf Coast League and Blueeld. After four and onthird scoreless innings in three GCL games, Gabryszwski moved up to the Appy League on August 29, turning in a shutout inning of relief at Danville. He relieved twice in the postseason foJays, allowing two runs in four and two-thirds innings. A graduate of Crosby High School, he had committed to play college ball at Lamar before signing with Toronto.

    LAFRENIERE:Right-hander Frank Lafreniere got off to a good start in 2012, but hes had some rocky outings of late. After going 3-0 with a 2.45 ERA in his rst ve starts, he 1-4 with a 6.86 ERA over his last four. He was rocked in a loss at Kingsport last Friday when he coughed up six runs, ve earned, on 14 hits in six innings. He recorded a win over the JaysJuly 6 when he grinded through ve and one-third innings, scattering 11 hits and three runs. Lafreniere has surrendered the most hits in the league (62) and his .323 opponent batting averis higher than any other qualied pitcher in the circuit. The native of St. Bruno in Quebec was drafted by the Braves in the 47th round in 2010 out of St. Petersburg JC in Florida, the sameschool that produced Atlanta General Manager Frank Wren. Lafreniere had been drafted the previous two seasons as well (34th round in 2008 by the Giants and 43rd round in 2009 by thePhillies), but he did not sign.

    JAMES:Righty reliever Justin James draws another spot start for the twinbill nightcap. The Ponte Vedra, Florida native was pitching well against Burlington on Friday, but he was doin by one big mistake. Leading 4-1 with the bases loaded and two outs in the fth inning, James served up a grand slam to Patrick Leonard that ended his night. The Jays came back to bethe Royals and give manager Dennis Holmberg his 1,300th career win. He was signed as an undrafted free agent out of Ave Maria University in Florida, where he was a Second Team All-S

    Conference selection as a senior after striking out 86 in 90.1 innings.

    CASTILLO: Trending in the opposite direction as the opening game starter Lafreniere, Dominican righty Eduardo Castillo has improved out of the bullpen after struggling earlthe season. Over his rst ve starts, he allowed seven or more runs in three of them and inated his ERA to 11.45. A move to a relief role helped as he posted ve shutout innings in four appearances. He was pressed back into the rotation on Saturday in Kingsport. He held the Mets to one run on three hits, but he came up one inning short of picking up the win. After spending
