That Was Much less Than Enjoyable, Jays Lose

This one, nicely, it was an awesome sport to look at. Right from the primary inning. Brett Bateman was hit by a pitch to begin the sport, however Nathan Lukes hit right into a double play, and Vladimir Guerrero grounded out.

And the underside of the inning went single (curler down the primary bottom line, and by the point Spencer Arrighetti received to the ball, it was a single (not that he didn’t throw to first, broad, however no hurt; no foul). Next batter walked, and Vinnie Pasquantino homered. 3-0 earlier than we received an out. After that, there have been three fast outs, horses and barn doorways and all.

The Royals received two extra within the third, on a Salvador Perez house run. And yet one more within the fifth, on a stroll, hit-by-pitch, and single.

Arrighetti went 4.2 innings with 6 hits, 3 walks and three strikeouts. The unlucky factor is that we don’t have sufficient beginning pitchers; Arrighetti should determine it out.

The bullpen threw 3.1 innings of 1-hit ball, with 4 walks and 5 strikeouts. Braydon Fisher (0.1 innings), Ricky Tiedemann (1.2 innings) and Joe Mantiply (1.1 innings) all pitched.

Offensively, we ended up with 8 hits, yet one more than the Royals, however the Royals had two homers to our one. Josh Smith put up our solely run on a house run.

Bateman had 3 hits. Lukes, Straw, McAdoo, Smith and Springer every had one hit.

But a number of went hitless: Vlad, Sanchez, Okamoto, Keys, Gimenez and Valenzuela.

Jay of the Day? No one had the quantity, however let’s give one to Bateman (0.07).

Other Award: Arrighetti (-0.29) and Lukes (-0.09).

Two of three with the Royals is sweet. Three of three can be higher, however we would like it to be thrilling.

The Jays are flying off to Las Vegas (no, no), Oakland (nope), Sacramento to play the A’s. Tomorrow, Dylan Cease and Jacob Lopez are the starters. It is a late begin, 10:00 Eastern. Let’s win one other sequence.
