It was a good day in the Blue Jays organization.

All but one affiliate in the system won, with the two teams in the lower-minors combining for four home runs.
Let’s take a look at the latest Minor League Report.
<h2>Buffalo scored double-digit runs</h2>
One thing is certain about the 2024 Buffalo Bisons: they’re going to score runs. On Friday evening, the team won 10-4, bringing their record to 17-13 for the second best record in the International League East.
A few days ago, I wrote an article about why it’s time to call Spencer Horwitz up, and he proved my point on Friday, finishing with three base hits and four RBI in six at-bats. He’s now slashing .350 for the season, and was one of five batters with a multi-hit game.

Steward Berroa also had a three hit game, all singles, while Rafael Lantigua, Brian Serven, and Leo Jimenez all had two hit games. Lantigua and Jimenez were two of three batters with an extra-base, as Damiano Palmegiani also had a double. Will Robertson and Payton Henry also had a hit.

<h2>New Hampshire lost another close game</h2>
New Hampshire was the only affiliate to lose on Friday, falling 4-3 to the Somerset Patriots to bring their record to 11-14.
Devonte Brown had the Fisher Cats’ only extra-base hit, a double. While Garrett Spain (who hit his fifth home run on Thursday) and Andres Sosa both had multi-hit games. Josh Kasevich and Riley Tirotta had the team’s other hits.

Here&#39;s Eric Pardinho&#39;s five whiffs from last night where he struck out the side.
He had a 45.5 whiff% in this game, and this definitely was not against the bottom of the order, facing Spencer Jones (#2 prospect), Ben Rice (#12 prospect), and Agustin Ramírez (#20). <a href="https://t.co/cbYa31wRrY">pic.twitter.com/cbYa31wRrY</a>

For the third time in four games, the Vancouver Canadians defeated the Tri-City Dust Devils, bringing their record to 10-11.
It was a home run party for the Canadians, as Dasan Brown, Jackson Hornung, and Brennan Orf all hit their second home runs of the season. All three of these players also had multi-hit games.

It’s been a rough few weeks for the Dunedin Blue Jays, but they picked up a 5-2 win over the Tampa Tarpons on Friday to bring their record to 5-2.
Arjun Nimmala hit his second home run of the season and also had a multi-hit day, adding a double. The other player with a double was Jean Joseph, while Manuel Beltre had the other multi-hit game, two singles. Byrce Arnold picked up the team’s other hit.
