Right-hander Aaron Sanchez happy to be back for Toronto Blue Jays home opener
Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Aaron Sanchez is happy to be home.
While the 24-year-old grew up in Barstow, Calif., almost halfway between Los Angeles and Las Vegas, he feels the love in Toronto. Especially around the home opener.
The Jays (1-5) welcome Milwaukee (2-5) to the Rogers Centre on Tuesday to kick off the start of a nine-game homestand — Baltimore and Boston follow the Brewers — as baseball returns.
Left-hander J.A. Happ, who went 20-4 last season with a 3.18 earned-run average, is slated to go against Wily Peralta (7-11 with a 4.86 ERA last year).
