Jays 1 Giants 10
I don’t know….
At least in the past we were able to make the easy defensive plays. But tonight, we couldn’t even do that.
Andrés Giménez made an error. Kazuma Okamoto made an official, had another that should have been an error and made a lousy play on a throw into third which was just a bad mistake, too bad to be called an error. Kirk made a poor throw to second, and Ernie Clement made a worse home back to home.
Kevin Gausman wasn’t great. He wasn’t as bad as the score made him look,
but he wasn’t great. 5.1 innings, 5 hits, 7 runs, 4 earned, 5 walks and 8 strikeouts. Yeah the defense didn’t help him out and two of his earned runs came after he left the game.
Tommy Nance came in with two on and one out and gave up a home run. Two runs added to Kevin’s line and one to Nance.
And Adam Macko gave up a 2-run homer in the eighth.
We managed three hits. Clement, Nathan Lukes and Okamoto had one each, Okamoto’s a home run, giving us our first in 29 innings?
No Jays of the Day. Clement had the high mark at 0.05 WPA, but that didn’t count the wide throw home.
Other Award: Gausman (-0.21). And really the batters all deserve one. Lukes had the low mark (-0.08).
Tomorrow is game two with the Giants….Someone will be opener, and Spencer Miles will be the bulk guy. Lefty Noah Schultz (2-5, 5.86) starts for SF.
