A Little Wild
Shaun Marcum did something three times today that he only did once before all year -- hit a batter. He plunked three different Royals today, but there no one on the Royals hit a Blue Jays player. That makes me believe these hit by pitches weren't intentional. He certainly wasn't getting back at Kansas City for hitting him hard as he only allowed two runs in 7 1/3 innings. Marcum's ERA goes to 2.64, fourth in the AL.

They were definitely not on purpose. The first came in the fifth with the score 4-0 Jays and then other two came in the 6th after the Jays made it 6-0. He hit them with 2 fastballs and a slider.
He was blowing on his fingers near the end of his start... it's something I've never seen him do this season, if ever.
Since KC can't hit maybe they thought it would help to get hit.
