Baseball is coming back to Montreal, as Olympic Stadium plays host to the
Toronto Blue Jays and New York Mets in the first of two spring training games
tonight.
Womens Tyson Jackson Jersey . The game is
available on TSN Radio 690 in Montreal at 7pm et/4pm pt. Its the first time
Major League Baseball has returned to Montreal since the Expos moved to
Washington in 2005. The last professional game played at the Big O was on Sept.
29, 2004, when the Expos were defeated 9-1 by the Florida Marlins. According to
The Canadian Press, Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre will throw the ceremonial first
pitch at tonights game. The mayor also plans to meet with John McHale Jr., an
executive with Major League Baseball, who will be in Montreal watching the
games. Coderre has been involved in the process of getting a baseball team back
in his city. Late Hall of Famer Gary Carter will be honoured in a ceremony
before the game, with his widow and family slated to attend. Carter died in
February 2012 after a battle with brain cancer. He was 57. Before Saturdays
game, an event will be held to celebrate the Expos squad that was considered the
best team in baseball before a players strike brought the 1994 season to a
premature close. The 94 team had baseballs best record (74-40) when the season
ended. The Jays will welcome Jose Reyes and Edwin Encarnacion back into the
lineup, as both have been cleared to play in this weekends series. Reyes has
been out of action since he suffered a mild strain in his left hamstring during
Saturdays game against Detroit. He has been listed as day-to-day, but the club
announced Thursday that he will be available. Encarnacion was struck by a pitch
on his right forearm during Wednesdays game against the Yankees. He was removed,
but has since received a clean bill of health. Encarnacion would have been
available to play Thursday vs. Philadelphia, but the club opted to give him a
day of rest.

Paul Goldschmidt seems to hit whatever Tim Lincecum throws at him. So does
Aaron Hill. Neither one is about to question why. Theyre just going to enjoy the
success while it lasts. Hill drove in two runs, and Goldschmidt had two hits off
Lincecum, helping the Arizona Diamondbacks send the San Francisco Giants to
their sixth straight loss, 4-1 on Friday night. "You dont want to take it
lightly because baseball can turn at any moment," said Hill, who is 11 for 19
against Lincecum. "He is a great pitcher and had a great career, and you dont
want to make it sound like its easy. Hes a great pitcher and its not easy." The
Giants still lead the NL West, but have lost nine of 10 to see a lead that was
once 9 1-2 games dwindle to less than four. The last-place Diamondbacks extended
San Franciscos misery behind a gritty effort by Josh Collmenter (5-4) and by
knocking around Lincecum (5-5). Hill had run-scoring hits in the fourth and
fifth innings, and Goldschmidt had a single and double to raise his average to
.577 against the two-time Cy Young Award winner. Collmenter fought through five
innings to win for the first time in four starts. Arizonas bullpen picked it up
from there. Three pitchers worked scoreless innings, and Addison Reed had a
perfect ninth to close out his 17th save. It was Arizonas third win in 10 games
and another frustrating loss in what is becoming a long stream of them for the
Giants. "Its been that way here through this tough streak," Giants manager Bruce
Bochy said. "We are missing the big hit, kind of keep the line moving. We had
some great at-bats, stretched him (Collmenter) out, but he dodged some bullets
there." Collmenter had lost two straight starts, allowing six runs in six
innings against the Los Angeles Dodgers his last time out. The right-hander
laboured through his night, needing 31 pitches to get through the first.
Pablo Sandoval had a run-scoring triple in the inning, chugginng his way around
the bases after centre fielder Ender Inciarte just missed a diving catch in the
gap.
Devonta Freeman Jersey. . Collmenter
continued to run up his pitch count, yet found ways to wriggle out of jams. He
walked two in the fifth inning and got out of that by striking out Sandoval and
getting Michael Morse to fly out to deep centre. Collmenter allowed a run and
four hits, struck out four and walked four while throwing a season-high 109
pitches. "I just continued to battle," Collmenter said. "I dont think Ive ever
had a clean, crisp outing against these guys for whatever reason. But I felt as
good as I have in the last few starts and was able to make some good pitches."
Lincecum was solid in his previous two starts, allowing five combined runs after
giving up eight against Cincinnati on June 3. Like Collmenter, he struggled.
Unlike Collmenter, he didnt always get out of it. Arizona scored two runs off
the right-hander in the fourth inning, on Hills single and a double by
Martin Prado. Arizona added a run in the fifth on a run-scoring triple by
Chris Owings, who was thrown out at the plate while trying for an
inside-the-park homer. Hill made it 4-1 with a sacrifice fly that scored
Goldschmidt, who improved to 15 for 26 against Lincecum with his second hit of
the night, a double off the wall in left-centre. Lincecum allowed four runs and
seven hits in six innings. "I left too many pitches over the plate, and you saw
what they did with them," Lincecum said. NOTES: The Diamondbacks signed
first-round draft pick Touki Toussaint. Arizona took the right-hander from Coral
Springs (Fla.) Christian Academy with the 16th pick in this years draft. ...
Giants OF Angel Pagan missed his fourth straight game with lower back pain, but
Bochy said he could be back in the lineup Saturday night. ... Arizona RHP
