Eddie Michels Photo in Ft. Myers

Jays 9, Redsox 7

Toronto Blue Jays opening day starter Drew Hutchinson had his last spring tune up before his opening day starting assignment on April 6th at Yankee Stadium. Hutchinson threw three shutout innings against a Boston Red Sox split squad allowing three hits, walked one and struck out one lowering his spring ERA to 1.50. Toronto did beat Boston 9-7 (EDDIE MICHELS PHOTO)

Edwin Encarnacion homers to center on the first pitch he sees in the third. (EDDIE MICHELS PHOTO)

In the unique three sequence of Eddie Michel photos below, Dalton Pompey is nearly hit in the head.  Pompey uses acrobatics to avoid pitch and then lays down a perfectly executed squeeze.

Colt Hynes got the win pitching 1 and 1/3 innings, walking one and striking out two. (EDDIE MICHELS PHOTO)

Struck ball. Blue Jays 3B Josh Donaldson hit a ground rule double in the first driving in two. The ball became lodged under the fence in left center field. (EDDIE MICHELS PHOTO)
