“I was excited about today,” Tulowitzki said (via the National Post). “I came to the ballpark real early, itching a little bit to get going. It was a good day.”
Tulowitzki was hitting .232/.314/.368 and a .682 OPS in 39 games since joining Toronto at the trade deadline in July when he was hurt in a collision with teammate Kevin Pillar.
The Jays' magic number for clinching the AL East title is two entering Tuesday's games, but at 91-65, they still have the goal of beating out the Royals (90-66) for the best record in the league.
