The Blue Jays are 6-18 in such games this season. “I’m an emotional guy myself and to see him out there having authentic emotion. he’s been unbelievable for us since he’s been here”. We talked about that a little bit (Friday).
“It doesn’t get any better than that”, manager John Gibbons said. They’re not always going to be able to catch me on certain days. He does energize guys.
Jason Grilli (5-3) worked one inning for the win and Roberto Osuna finished for his 29th save.
For Stroman, it was a frustrating outing.
Stroman’s season ERA climbed to 4.58 Saturday with five earned runs allowed, but he pitched better than his line would suggest since numerous nine hits he allowed were just out of the reach of Blue Jays infielders. Instead, they collided and the ball hit the turf.
“I was just running, man”, said Upton, who wasn’t sure he would bother to watch the replay. “Though it’s extremely frustrating while you’re out there because you’re doing everything in your power to keep your team in the game”.
Down 7-3 in the seventh in the bottom of the seventh, third baseman Donaldson came to the plate with the bases loaded and two out, prompting Twins manager Paul Molitor to pull Santana, who had thrown 111 pitches, for right-handed reliever Ryan Pressly.
Jays starter Marcus Stroman gave up nine hits through six innings, the majority of them grounders that found holes though the infield.
METS 12, PHILLIES 1: Yoenis Cespedes hit a three-run homer, Kelly Johnson had a pinch-hit grand slam and host NY won its sixth in seven games. “It was a much-needed win”. “We’ve got to stay in the fight”. We’re happy he’s going to be part of our crew again. “A win like that can start some good momentum for us”.
The three home runs give Donaldson 74 since the beginning of last season, fourth in baseball and just one behind his teammate Edwin Encarnacion.
Plouffe led off with a walk and Eddie Rosario singled. Minnesota 2B Brian Dozier is 9-for-27 with two homers, four RBIs and six runs scored in his last six contests and 4-for-12 with two blasts in his career versus Dickey.3.
“At the same time, we have to come tomorrow, erase this game today and then play hard”, Santana said.
Coming up on Monday in Major League Baseball action from Oriole Park, the Toronto Blue Jays and the Baltimore Orioles will be kicking off their series. The defending champion Royals mashed the ball to a line of.325/.392/.485 after the sixth inning in 16 total playoff games a year ago. “In 2014, when I was backing him up, he was a big asset to me”. Groundskeepers and even the Blue Jays mascot helped clear the hats away. In his 22 starts and 7-6 record this year, Estrada owns a 3.47 ERA and a 1.10 WHIP in 137.1 innings.
