For the second time this season, the Blue Jays have had an organizational sweep.

On Sunday, all four the Blue Jays affiliates were in action, with the Buffalo Bisons, New Hampshire Fisher Cats, Vancouver Canadians, and Dunedin Blue Jays all winning their games. Moreover, all four teams had at least eight runs scored.
Let’s dig into this edition of the Minor League Report.
<h2>Buffalo Bisons win big, like, really big</h2>
On Sunday, the Bisons defeated the Rochester Red Wings 17-0 to go to 8-6 for the season. In total, the team had 15 hits, with 10 walks compared to just six strikes outs. Every starter had at least one hit, with several players picking up multi-hit games. Spencer Horwitz went 3-3 with two walks and an RBI, Addison Barger went 2-4 with two RBI, Damiano Palmegiani and Rafael Lantigua also had multi-hit games.
Lantigua’s two hits were doubles, while Barger and Horwitz also picked up a double in the afternoon. Orelvis Martinez also hit his first home run of the season and picked up three runs. It’s been an odd year for Martinez, who has led the team in home runs each of the last three seasons.

<h2>It’s a Ryan McCarty Party in Vancouver</h2>
Vancouver started the season 0-3, but won five of six games against the Hillsboro Hops to bring their record to 5-4. However, it didn’t always look like that’d happen.
In the bottom of the ninth, the Canadians were down 7-3 with two outs, when Dylan Rock was hit by a pitch. The Hops had a chance to record an out, but had an error, before Arnaez was hit with a pitch as well. Dasan Brown hit a clutch single with the bases loaded, driving in two runs, before Ryan McCarty hit a two-run double to tie the game. Nick Goodwin singled in the game-winning run to complete a fantastic comeback.

There were only two extra-base hits from D-Jays players, as Canadian Bryce Arnold hit a double in the top of the third to give Dunedin a 1-0 lead. Edward Duran also hit a double, his third of the season. Both Arnold and Duran had multi-hit games, with Manuel Beltre picking up the only other multi-hit game.
Still, most players that appeared in the game had at least one his, with Tucker Toman, Arjun Nimmala, Ricardo Balogh, Nicolas Deschamps, and Alexis Hernandez all picking up singles.
Landen Marudois made his first career start, finishing with a line of 4 IP, 1 H, 1 ER, 4 BB, 4 K. Diving deeper into his Statcast numbers, he maxed out at 95.2 mph with the fastball, but averaged 93.6 mph with it. The fourth-rounder only generated three whiffs on 28 total swings (11 whiff%). Not his best outing, but he got the job done.
Eliander Alcalde picked up the win, going 2.2 IP, 2 H, 2 ER, 3 BB, 2 K to bring his season ERA to 2.81, while Kai Peterson finished with a line of 1 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K. Felipe Bello was the final reliever used, and he pitched a clean inning with no strikeouts.
