Colabello's homers take Jays forward a big win

Chris Colabello hit Donnie Jones Eagles Jersey a two-run home run, R.A. Dickey threw seven shutout innings and the Blue Jays beat the Kansas City Royals 5-2 Sunday, taking three of four from the AL's top team.
''I think they're used to pushing people around,'' Dickey said of the Royals. ''So when they come onto the playground and there's a kid that's bigger than they are for a day, I think it probably (ticks) them off. And I can't blame 'em.''
Both benches and bullpens emptied after Toronto reliever Aaron Sanchez was ejected for hitting Kansas City's Alcides Escobar on the thigh in the eighth. It was the climax of a game-long spat that began when Royals starter Edinson Volquez hit Josh Donaldson on the left shoulder in the first.

Volquez didn't mince words when asked whether Donaldson overreacted to being hit and to a pair of later pitches that were up and in.
''He's a little baby,'' Volquez said. ''He was crying like a baby.''
Donaldson and Volquez traded stares and words as the Blue Jays slugger took a slow walk to first base after being hit. Home plate umpire Jim Wolf warned both dugouts.

When Donaldson batted again in the third, Volquez missed http://www.nfleaglesofficial.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_ERIC_ROWE_JERSEY.html high and inside with a pitch that sailed to the backstop. Blue Jays manager John Gibbons came out to argue but Volquez was not ejected.
In the seventh, Royals reliever Ryan Madson hit Troy Tulowitzki on the right forearm, then threw high and inside to Donaldson, who stepped out and yelled at Wolf. Gibbons and on-deck hitter Jose Bautista stepped in to break up the argument, and Gibbons was eventually ejected.
After Donaldson struck out, Bautista made it 3-0 with a double to center, and yelled at Madson as he ran to first.
Donaldson and Volquez had to be restrained after Sanchez was ejected for hitting Escobar. Gibbons and Colabello, who'd just been replaced for defense, both ran out to join the scrum. Wolf ejected both Sanchez and Blue Jays bench coach DeMarlo Hale.
Donaldson hit two home runs in the series but struck out three times in the finale.

''He can't take it,'' Volquez said of Donaldson. ''I don't know why. He hit a lot of homers in the first couple of games and he was pimping everything he does. Somebody hits you, you've got to take it, because you're pimping everything you do.''
Roberto Osuna replaced Sanchez and allowed a two-run homer to Ben Zobrist, cutting it to 3-2.
Toronto scored Marcell Dareus Elite Jersey a pair of insurance runs in the bottom half after Kelvin Herrera walked the bases loaded. Ben Revere hit a sacrifice fly and Tulowitzki had an RBI single.
An exchange of hit by pitches and some testy words overshadowed a big win for the Toronto Blue Jays.
