It was almost as if the Biggar, Saskatchewan native had never left, even though he had last appeared in a TinCaps uniform almost 23 months earlier before undergoing Tommy John surgery.”

Elliott: Brash young reliever an anchor of Mariners' bullpen
“The Blue Jays drew 44,814 fans to Rogers Centre for Game 2 of the American League Championship Series on Monday.
Yes, it was a sellout.
