Hot damn. Awesome series, winning two of three and outscoring the Jays 16-4. The Jays were 34-21 at home coming in.
The starting pitching was tremendous and so was the pen. The 5th highest scoring team in baseball was held to 4 runs in 3 games at home. If the Guardians continue to pitch like this anything can happen.
The catchers starting to contribute on a daily basis has been huge. Hentges had two hits and two RBI's today. They were both bloops, but, hey, they all count.
The Guardians ran wild on Alejandro Kirk. The Jays' All-Star catcher may be an excellent hitter but he's awful at throwing to second base. If we get them in the playoffs it's going to be a track meet.
Rosario had three hits and a walk, including a 422-foot home run. He continues to play at an All-Star level both at the dish, in the field, and on the bases. I don't know if there's a better baserunner in the game right now.
Nice to see Owen Miller get a couple of doubles and a line out to third. All three balls were hit on the screws.
Straw was 0-for-4 with two more fly balls to right field, but he did make a fantastic leaping catch to get Bieber out of an inning. I'd still like to see more of Benson in center. I think Straw is now 3-for-40.
The Jays' defense was pretty shaky today but the G's were rock solid.
Whit Merrifield looks like he's running on fumes. He's not getting to balls at the top of the zone - he's popping up all of them. He also botched a ground ball by Naylor that allowed a run to score from second.
Speaking of pop-ups, Jose struck out three times and then drew a walk, but promptly was out trying to steal when he overslid the bag. He salvaged a little respect in his last at-bat with an RBI single.
So the G's take the season series 5-2. Very impressive. Let's keep it going against the Tigers at home.
