Last Night's Game: Toronto 6, Cleveland 5
Cleveland Indians fail to replicate ninth-inning magic, fall to Blue Jays, 6-5 - Let's Go Tribe

Blue Jays hit 3 home runs to defeat Indians | MLB.com
The last three innings were an eery parallel to Friday night's game, but unfortunately the ninth inning went much differently. The first portion of the game was quite a bit different, in that Josh Tomlin allowed home runs both early and late in his start, and only lasted into the fifth inning. The Indians did tie the game with a five-run fifth inning, but couldn't score after that.

Sunday Notes: Espinoza, Anderson, Clippard, Segura, Groome, more | FanGraphs Baseball
Lots of good stuff as usual, but I especially liked this nugget:
Kyle Gaedele, who spent 2011-2015 in the San Diego Padres system, is the grandnephew of Eddie Gaedel, who famously pinch hit for the St. Louis Browns on August 19, 1951. Eddie Gaedel was 3-foot-7. Kyle Goedele — currently playing for the River City Rascals in the independent Frontier League — is listed at 6-foot-3, 235 pounds.
