Ernie Clement and the Blue Jays beat up on Athletics again
Article content Ernie Clement continues to shine, while the Blue Jays continue to soar. Article content Article content Granted, the Athletics aren't a quality major-league team and following Friday night's 11-7 defeat, they endured their 15th loss in their past 16 games. Article content Too bad the Jays can't play the A's more often. If they could, playoff tickets would be printed. Article content Clement has certainly left his imprint two games into a four-game series by going yard in back-to-back games, two nights in which he has recorded seven hits, including going 4-for-5 on Friday raising his average to .273. Article content Article content Addison Barger also went deep in Friday's victory while Myles Straw and Nathan Lukes also had two hits apiece as the bottom four in the order went a combined 9-for-16 with nine runs scored, two homers and five RBIs. Article content The following are three takeaways on a night the Blue Jays would score three runs in three different innings to win their third in a row. Article content 1. Run of the mill Article content The Rogers Centre roof was half-open or half-closed, depending on one's perspective. Article content One could draw a similar comparison to the Blue Jays. It's hard to judge this lineup when the opposition is as poor as the A's. Still, the bottom line is the Jays' bats have flourished in two games, beginning with Thursday night's win when 18 hits produced 12 runs. Article content The hitting frenzy carried over into Friday when 15 hits were recorded and every starter in the lineup produced at least one. Article content 2. Canada Day Article content On a hockey-themed night, three members of the Toronto Sceptres took part in the ceremonial first pitch with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. serving as catcher. Article content Fans reportedly lined up as early as 8 a.m. to get their hands on the night's giveaway, a Vladdy hockey jersey. Article content To borrow a shinny metaphor, the Jays wound up skating circles around the A's. Article content Taking it all in was Pickering's Denzel Clarke, who started in centre field for the visitors. Article content When his name was introduced, Clarke was accorded a warm applause. Article content Clarke struck out swinging in the second inning, marking his 16th strikeout in 20 plate appearances. Article content No one, though, will remember the punch-out. What they will remember was the catch he made in denying Alejandro Kirk a home run to lead off the fourth inning, a majestic out at the wall that highlighted Clarke's athleticism.

Toronto Argos and Hamilton Ti-Cats return to University of Guelph gridiron
The Toronto Argonauts and Hamilton Tiger-Cats met up for a preseason match at the University of Guelph's Alumni Stadium on May 30, 2025. (Dan Lauckner/CTV News) For the fifth consecutive season, CFL stars came to the University of Guelph for a preseason matchup. Defending Grey Cup champions, the Toronto Argonauts, took on the Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Alumni Stadium Friday night. The Boatmen brought out the Grey Cup ahead of the match, giving fans a chance to catch a glimpse of the coveted trophy. For years, the game has drawn out the faithful, eager to get a measure of the team before the official start to the season. 'We came last year to this game. [It's] always great to see the team in advance. I love coming here and seeing how the team is looking,' self-proclaimed Argos superfan Matthew McKenzie said. 'I was here last year for this game, and I just came out to root on our Tiger-Cats,' fan Shelle Papin said. 'It's not too far, just right up in Hamilton. So Oskee Wee Wee!' Others said it was the overall excitement that drew them in. 'I was here last year and the year before. It's a wonderful time,' Tayte Azzoparde, a Guelph Jr. Gryphons U18 player, told CTV News. The stands quickly filled up with diehard fans, some sporting the double blue while others came decked out in black and gold. Friday's game comes after the Argos used Alumni Stadium for a training camp and held a special opportunity for elementary students to get in on the action through the 'Huddle Up' program earlier this month.
