--RHP Dennis Sarfate left the game in the seventh inning with an apparent injury. The middle reliever hit Jose Bautista with a pitch, bringing a warning following an Adam Lind home run, and left with training staff flexing his right hand. Manager Dave Trembley deemed it a "circulation problem in his middle finger" in a post-game interview on MASN.
--RF Nick Markakis tied his career-best by extending his hitting streak to 17 games with a two-run home run to right field. Markakis has reached base in a big league-best 32 straight games dating back to last season.
--LHP Jamie Walker was fined an undisclosed amount for his comments criticizing home plate umpire Angel Hernandez Tuesday night. Walker questioned the motives behind Hernandez's balk call, suggesting Hernandez "had money betting on the game."
--C Gregg Zaun broke out of a 3-for-43 slump with a double in the second inning. It was Zaun's fifth double of the season in his first trip back to Toronto, where he spent the past five seasons. He finished 2-for-4.
--LHP Rich Hill (sore left elbow) allowed two runs on one hit and a walk while striking out four in 3 1/3 innings Wednesday during a rehab appearance for Class AAA Norfolk (Va.). He threw 63 pitches. Hill will throw again Monday, with the goal of increasing his pitch count toward 100.
--C Matt Wieters will not be recalled just because C Gregg Zaun is struggling. Manager Dave Trembley said of his top prospect: "I think the Wieters thing is a separate entity all to itself. I don't think the decision on Wieters has anything to do with what Zaun does or doesn't do."
