Blue Jays eager to return to diamond, beginning with Giants series
(Photo credit: Bob DeChiara-Imagn Images) The Toronto Blue Jays aim to continue playing the way that put them in first place in the American League East when they host the San Francisco Giants on Friday night. The Blue Jays return from the All-Star break with a six-game homestand starting with three against the Giants. The homestand concludes with a three-game series against the second-place New York Yankees, who are two games behind in the AL East. Toronto surged into first place with a 39-21 record since May 8. However, the Blue Jays stumbled entering the break by losing three of four to complete a 3-3 road trip against the Chicago White Sox and the Athletics. The team is anticipating continued success when play resumes. 'Excited is an understatement,' Toronto manager John Schneider said. 'We can't wait to be back.' Toronto has 55 wins, the most in franchise history before the All-Star break. That came after 96 games for a .573 winning percentage. The 1992 Blue Jays won 53 games in 87 games before the break, a .609 winning percentage. Toronto is scheduled to call on Chris Bassitt (9-4, 4.12 ERA) in the opener. The right-hander is 3-2 with a 4.54 ERA in 39 2/3 innings over seven career starts against the Giants. He worked a perfect inning in relief on Sunday in a 6-3 loss to the Athletics. San Francisco is expected to start right-hander Justin Verlander (0-7, 4.70), who after 15 starts is still chasing his first win of the season. Despite pitching two no-hitters against the Blue Jays (2011 with Detroit, 2019 with Houston), his career record against them is 4-7 with a 4.13 in 16 starts. The Giants are third in the National League West, six games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers and a half-game behind the San Diego Padres. 'We've put ourselves in a position where, starting in the second half, our objective and where we want to go is still attainable,' Giants manager Bob Melvin said. The Toronto series opens a six-game trip for the Giants. Toronto must contend with an old nemesis in Rafael Devers, who started the season with the division rival Boston Red Sox. The Giants acquired the three-time All-Star in a surprising trade on June 15. Devers has yet to reach his top form with his new club. In his first 25 games with the Giants, he is batting .202 with two home runs, 10 RBIs, a .330 on-base percentage and a .326 slugging percentage. Hitting has been a team weakness for the Giants, but Melvin holds out hope. 'We are going to be better offensively,' Melvin said. 'I believe that. We have some guys that are coming around a little bit. We have some guys that will come around a little bit more. We have some guys in the middle of the lineup, they're going to do more damage. I think our offense is going to be better in the second half.' In 105 games against Toronto, Devers is hitting .307/.368/.569 with 24 homers and 74 RBIs. The Blue Jays have been successful with contributions from several players, particularly George Springer. They have yet to see Vladimir Guerrero Jr. at his best, however. He was good enough to start at first base in the All-Star Game on Tuesday by batting .277/.384/.434 with 12 homers and 46 RBIs in the first half. Toronto is hoping he breaks out in the latter part of the season like he did last year. 'At some point in time, he's going to get on a heater and he'll end up carrying us for a while,' Schneider said.

‘A real danger': Ghost Lake residents upset over low reservoir levels
Albertans summering in the village of Ghost Lake claim poor reservoir management is ruining their seasonal getaway. Albertans summering in the village of Ghost Lake claim poor reservoir management is ruining their seasonal getaway. The Ghost Reservoir is below its yearly average water level. It's a decision that has left those with properties downstream of the TransAlta hydro plant with limited lake to swim and boat in. 'This time last year, we probably had close to a metre more water than we do right now, which functionally makes a huge difference,' Mayor John Walsh said. The province has an agreement to set elevations on the Ghost Reservoir from May 16 to July 7, a period that typically carries the highest storm risk. But when TransAlta took back control in early July, the annual water level rise only lasted a couple of days. Residents say it was just high enough long enough to dock and put their boats in. 'In the last few days, people have now scrambled to get their boats out of the water,' Walsh said. 'If you look around the village, you'll see a lot of rock, a lot of points that are exposed and you'll see that most of the docks are empty.' Albertans summering in the village of Ghost Lake claim poor reservoir management is ruining their seasonal getaway. Albertans summering in the village of Ghost Lake claim poor reservoir management is ruining their seasonal getaway. The village marina is in various stages of chaos. Some docks sit half on the shore. Others have dropped into the water but scrape against shallow rocks. And the boats are in even worse shape. 'I hit a gravel bar and destroyed my prop,' resident Warren Wilson said. 'The water (there) was only two feet deep. Normally, this time of the year, it would be four.' He calls it a 'real danger' for any members of the public who aren't as familiar with the reservoir's ins and outs. Warren, a 19-year Ghost Lake vacationer, says he's never seen anything like it. 'We do understand that flood mitigation is important, but they're not operating the dam like they used to, like they have for the past 80 years,' he said. 'Right now, I don't believe there's any flood hazard. There's no snowpack or anything on the mountains coming down. 'There's no reason for it to be this low.' Warren is one of multiple boaters who have reached out to TransAlta for answers. He claims the company promised the level will return to normal at the end of July and pointed out the low elevation is still within its operating parameters. Warren says the company wouldn't elaborate as to what's currently happening. 'It's a very short season here in Alberta as is, so to not have a lake for a whole month is very frustrating,' he said. 'This is a reservoir managed by TransAlta, and its primary purpose is to generate power,' Walsh said. 'That's a business model, and we respect that. The thing that we're having trouble coming to grips with is the lack of transparency around the decisions that have been made.' TransAlta denied a CTV News interview request. In a statement, its media relations team said it 'began refilling to return to targeted elevation levels but had to pause to accommodate the recent precipitation.' It said the company is 'monitoring conditions closely and will continue to refill the reservoir gradually over the coming days.'
