No home runs today.Įveryone in the lineup had a hit, except for Kirk (who took 2 walks).

7 extra-base hits, 5 doubles and 2 triples. Bichette crushed a double down the right-field line (111.6 MPH). We got our 9th run in the seventh inning. Trevor Richards got the last out of the game. It surprised me that he came out again for the ninth (not that there was any reason he shouldn’t have), and he had some troubles, giving up 3 singles and an earned run, getting two outs. Some rules are dumb.ĭavid Phelps got the last out of the seventh and pitched a quick eight. You are assuming the throw from second to first should be easy enough to make. Once you get that out at second, you are no longer “assuming a double play”. The line “you can’t assume a double play” is one I don’t like. Of course, it is one of the dumbest lines in the rule book that cost him the earned run. Cavan did make the catch and got the force at second, but rushed the throw to first and threw wide of the bag.Īt first the run was unearned because the runner scored because of the overthrow, but the hit batter and walk that followed would have scored the run without the overthrow. He got the perfect double play ground ball, but Chapman’s throw to Cavan Biggio was low. Yusei Kikuchi had a rough time in his second relief outing, walking 3 and hitting a batter, while getting just two outs. I thought he could have gone longer, but it is August, saving a few bullets for September is not a bad idea. He came out of the game at 86 pitches, looking strong. Maybe not as great as his last start, but 6 innings, 6 hits, 1 earned, 1 walk and 6 strikeouts. He made the second and third out of the inning. Springer looped one into right, and Rob Refsnyder dove for it, coming up short, turning a single into a bases-clearing triple.Bradley walked in his second at-bat of the inning.Cavan Biggio singled home Hernandez and Bichette.Bo Bichette singled, loading the bases.George Springer singled to center (Enrique Hernandez misjudged the ball (or something), he should have had a fairly easy catch).Lourdes Gurriel doubled, Bradley scored.We had groundouts from George Springer and Vladimir Guerrero.Ross Stripling and 8-run third inning was all the Jays needed today.
