Blue Jays 0 Mariners 4
So…..for the second game in a row, we didn’t score. Today, three hits, one extra base hit (Vlad’s double), with singles from Nathan Lukes and Ernie Clement. And we had two walks.
Surprisingly, only six strikeouts, but a lot of soft contact. We had one hard hit ball, Vlad’s double at 114.7. Luis Urías (101.7) and Ernie Clement (100.4) were the only other Jays with balls hit at 100. Both ground outs.
Trey Yesavage wasn’t as sharp as he usually is, but still had a quality start.
Six innings, three hits, three runs, two earned, two walks and seven strikeouts. A pretty good line. The Mariners didn’t seem to be going after his breaking stuff, and they did have two home runs, if that is a bad Trey start, we have an excellent starter there.
Tyler Rogers pitched a quick seventh (just six pitchers). Mason Fluharty had a very long eighth inning, 32 pitches. Allowing three hits, one earned, with two strikeouts.
Other than that, Ernie Clement’s had an throwing error at short. Vlad made a couple of nice defensive plays. Lukes made a nice catch in right.
But, all in all, I should have slept through this one as well.
No Jays of the Day.
Other Award: Yesavage (-0.12 WPA), Lukes (-0.10) and Okamoto (-0.09)
Tomorrow the Jays travel a few hours south, to start a series with the San Francisco Giants (one of those places I’d like to go see a game, but won’t for the next few years). Kevin Gausman (4-7, 4.19) goes against Landen Roupp (5-8, 4.55). Maybe the Jays could, you know, score. It is a late start, 9:45 Eastern
