Fowler had a rough night at the plate, going 0 for 3 against a strong outing by Josh Johnson.
Spin: Fowler’s average dipped under .300 once again, but stands at an admirable .298. Still, he’s hitting .375 in his last 10 games and is due for a power surge, so expect him to bounce back tonight. Besides, his struggles at the plate can be traced to his troubles passing through customs in Canada. When asked, “Do you have anything to declare?” Fowler responded by borrowing a line from one of his favorite playwrights, Oscar Wilde. “I have nothing to declare except the 8 hits--2 doubles, 4 singles, and a triple--that I will have during this series against your Blue Jays,” said Dexter. Customs officials promptly confiscated his hits and the satchel of American bacon he had hidden under them, but Dexter had the last laugh. You see, it’s widely known that Canadians can’t count or spell well, so they failed to realize that Dexter neglected to declare 1 of his 8 hits--the homer that he will smash into the upper deck of the Rogers Centre (Center) tonight.
