Giles Officially a Jay
Just less than a week after being traded from the Houston Astros to the Blue Jays, closer Ken Giles made his Blue Jays debut Friday, pitching an inning, allowing one earned run on two hits, striking out three. The 27-year-old now has a season ERA of 5.12.
Loup Makes His Debut in Red
Longtime Blue Jay Aaron Loup made his Philadelphia Phillies debut after being traded minutes before the July 31st non-waiver trade deadline. Loup, who went to Philly in exchange for MiLB pitcher Jacob Waguespack, faced only one batter Friday, who he hit.
