Well, I guess the four day break didn’t solve everything that’s wrong with the Blue Jays. This one got out of hand early, with the eventual winning run scoring in the second inning. The pitching was bad, and while the offence managed three home runs they were still held to just seven hits by an unimposing White Sox pitching staff composed mostly of their own castaways.
17 days to the deadline, so if they’re going to get anything going it has to be now. Personally, I wouldn’t bet on it.
No need to go through all the details, but as a quick recap:
Jays of the Day: Nobody qualifies, but Clement and Kirk each got on three times, it’s not their fault that it didn’t matter.
Less so: Miles (-0.32), Macko (-0.10), Varsho (-0.10)
We’re back tomorrow at 3:07pm ET. Shane Bieber (0-1, 7.64) will try to get his season going against Davis Martin (9-4, 3.41).
