Known as a notorious slow starter, Santander, dubbed Tony Tater, does appear to be heating up, which represents a good sign for the Blue Jays desperate for any break-out bats. BAUBLE KIRK It was Alejandro Kirk bobble-arm giveaway night, an occasion for fans to line up hours before first pitch at the chance to get their hands on the trinket. Fans cheered the catcher when Kirk was shown on the video screen. Kirk batted in the No. 6 hole in the second game of a three-game series against Boston, sandwiched between Varsho and Addison Barger, who started in right field. It was Kirk who was at the plate when Hopkins got tossed after the catcher took a changeup on the outside corner for a called strike three. Thursday night’s series finale between the two AL East rivals pits Boston’s Tanner Houck, who is looking for his first win of the season, versus fellow right-hander Jose Berrios, whose lone win of the season came against Boston on April 7 at Fenway Park.
