This is going to be a short recap, we’ll talk more about this one tomorrow. But….
Trey Yesavage was terrific. It was too bad about the back-to-back home runs in the eighth, but he was amazing. I feel bad that he didn’t get the win. Over the first seven innings he allowed two hits, one earned, no walks with 6 strikeouts. I am not at all mad about him starting the eighth, he was amazing and our pen was overworked and he was under 90 pitches. No problem at all with leaving him out there. And I didn’t think the two pitches were particularly bad, but such is life. You’d have to have a deep hate for John Schneider to complain about him staying in.
Tommy Nance got the last two outs of the eighth (and got the win). Mason Fluharty got the save in the ninth. He was terrific too. His first save.
Jays of the Day: Valenzuela (0.42 WPA) and Fluharty (0.21)
No one had the number for the Other Award, low mark was Lukes (-0.6 and he homered, most of it was the bunt) and Okomoto (-0.6).
Tomorrow is a day game too….2:20 Eastern. Jays @ Cubs. Gausman (4-4, 3.41) vs. TBD.
