For awhile this game felt like a mirror image of last night's with the Giants making the most of their hits and the Blue Jays leaving runners on base, but in the end it again came down to a disaster inning being too much for a struggling lineup to overcome. Key Lines:
Heliot Ramos LF- 1 for 3, SF. BA= .265. Heliot's Sac Fly drove in Luis Matos with the Giants second run of the game and a brief 2-0 lead.
Willy Adames SS- 2 for 3, 2 HR(14). BA= 224. For awhile it looked like Willy Adames might win this one by himself but alas, he didn't get much help from his teammates and a pair of solo HR's just wasn't enough. Still an encouraging game from a guy the Giants desperately need to be the team leader both on the field and the clubhouse.
Luis Matos RF- 1 for 3, 2B. BA= .175. Matos leadoff double in the 6'th after Adames HR in the 5'th looked like the Giants might be getting it in gear for a convincing win. Alas, they burned two outs advancing him to 3B on a flyball and Heliot's Sac Fly. It was nice to get the run but the rally was over. The Blue Jays 4-run rally in the bottom of the 6'th inning erased the lead and the optimism.
Logan Webb RHP- 6 IP, 11 H, 4 R, 1 BB, 1 K, 9/3 GO/AO. ERA= 3.08. Webb had runners on base every inning but held the wolves at bay until the disaster 6'th when is luck ran out and 2 singles and 3 doubles erased the Giants 2-0 lead and effectively ended the game.
All-Star Robbie Ray LHP tries to stave off a sweep tomorrow facing Jose Berrios RHP who comes in with a 3.75 ERA. Unfortunately the game is televised on Roku.
I give the Blue Jays credit, they've been a hot team i think I saw they've won 33 out of their last 48 games. Sometimes its not who you play but when you play them. Who is this Addison Barger 4 hits today. The reports of Adames being a 2nd half player seem to be coming thru. Let's hope he starts hitting 3 run homers like he did last year for the Brewers. Chilli Davis on a knbr podcast saud he's not worried about Devers, he'll figure it out. He's had to adjust to change like Adames. Matos 1 hit today,, like to see him take advantage when he plays against lefties. The Giants are still 5 games over 500 and there's a lot of games left for them to get hot too.
ReplyDeleteThe Giants have never played well in Toronto. To my eye a lot of it has to do with the defense not being used to the playing surface.
DeleteWell, Verlander’s pounding yesterday doesn’t look so bad now, I guess …
