Philadelphia Phillies general manger Ruben Amaro was at the Rogers Centre on Saturday afternoon and a day later he was as good as gone. A one-day trip always means the evaluator was looking at pitching. Amaro picked a good day to see Blue Jays starter Josh Towers, with the July 31-non-waiver trade deadline eight days away. Towers had an outstanding outing that day, working 62/3 scoreless innings for a 1-0 win over the Seattle Mariners. He now is 5-6 with a 4.97 earned run average in 12 starts for the Jays. He has pitched 831/3 innings in 18 games, walking only 14 and striking out 60.
