The Blue Jays optioned reliever Aaron Loup to Triple-A Buffalo following a 3-1 win over the Yankees on Sunday at Rogers Centre. The team will announce a corresponding roster move on Monday.

The Marlins staved off a season sweep by the Cardinals by nabbing a 6-4 victory at Busch Stadium before leaving town on Sunday.

Left-hander Tommy Milone handcuffed the Indians for five innings and the Twins’ bullpen followed suit on Sunday afternoon, leading Minnesota to a 4-1 victory over the Tribe and sealing a series win at Target Field.

Veteran shortstop Erick Aybar returned to the Angels’ lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Royals at Kauffman Stadium, after sitting out the last three games with tightness in his lower back. The Angels also announced a series of roster moves, with starter Matt Shoemaker getting optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake, and shortstop Taylor Featherston and reliever Cory Rasmus getting placed on the disabled list.

An Orioles club that rallied from behind for the first two games of the series wasted no time Sunday afternoon, scoring in the first three innings and recording a mammoth nine-run fifth to cruise to an 18-2 victory over the A’s.

Mike Hessman owns the Minor League record with 433 career home runs, a total he could continue to bump over the next few weeks at Triple-A Toledo. Whether he’ll get a chance to bolster his Major League total of 14 homers is another matter, but don’t rule out it yet.
