| | Blue Jays blank Tigers 6-0, Montoyo gets 1st win (30th Mar 19 at 10:08am UTC) | | Through chattering teeth, Charlie Montoyo talked about how good it felt to win for the first time as a major league manager.
After Matt Shoemaker and the Blue Jays beat Detroit Tigers championship rings 6-0 Friday night, Toronto players marked their new skipper's milestone victory by bundling him into a laundry basket, dragging him into the showers and dousing him with beer.
Pitcher Marcus Stroman posted video of the impromptu celebration the to his Twitter account.
The frosty bath left Montoyo soaking wet and more than a little chilly in his postgame news conference.
Montoyo spent 18 years as a minor league manager and another four as a big league coach with the cheap Toronto Blue Jays championship rings before being hired to replace John Gibbons in Toronto.
Matt Shoemaker pitched seven sharp innings and Justin Smoak and Freddy Galvis each drove in two runs, a day after the Blue Jays were blanked in a 10-inning loss.

Tigers catcher John Hicks said Shoemaker had three pitches working world series rings for sale.

Javy Guerra finished with two perfect innings for Toronto. Matt Boyd (0-1) struck out 10 in five innings.
After establishing a team record for futility with a 13-inning scoreless drought to begin the season, the custom Toronto Blue Jays championship rings broke through with a four-run fourth. Teoscar Hernandez broke the skid with an RBI single, and Billy McKinney scored from first when center fielder Mikie Mahtook bobbled a bases-loaded single by Galvis.
Mahtook also failed to corral Brandon Drury's leadoff triple in the first inning, although Boyd struck out the next three batters. Those were the first in a stretch that saw Boyd fan seven of nine.
Gardenhire said miscommunication was to blame for Detroit Tigers championship rings for sale defensive miscues.
Smoak made it 6-0 with a two-out, two-run single off Blaine Hardy in the seventh.
Detroit's Nicholas Castellanos was left stranded after a one-out double in the fourth, then got caught in a rundown after reaching on a one-out triple in the sixth.
Castellanos was the only Tigers player to get a hit. | |
