A fan at Comerica Park with no use for Alejandro De Aza's solo home run ball yesterday sent it back, as home fans tend to do when visiting players hit one out. All well and good.

The Toronto Blue Jays Are Out Of The AL East Basement, Barely
The Blue Jays were so far south of their preseason projections that even after a 10-game winning streak they're still the most disappointing team in baseball this season. But!
