BLUE JAYS WIN! BLUE JAYS WIN! BLUE JAYS WIN!
After giving it little thought, I’ve decided that yesterday’s approach was a little too clunky, so you don’t have to click around again. On to the game!
Marco Estrada gave the Jays a little more length than what they had in recent days, and he should be happy with the results. His final line reads 7.0 IP, 3 ER, 4 H, 2 K, 3 BB. It was encouraging to see lots of groundouts and popouts today. It seemed like he leaned a little more on the fastball than changeup, but he wasn’t locating it particularly high in the zone. A bit of a different approach. While the results were mostly good, Estrada also walked too many without really challenging those batters, and allowed his fair share of hard contact. The Yankees hit some deep flies, and Tyler Austin launched two rockets into the stands. I’m not going to link to them.
Basically, that’s what you expect from Estrada, and I’ll take 7.0 innings with three earned runs all summer long.
We saw some offence today! And it came in all forms. The bats got going early. Donaldson, showing no ill effects of a dead arm, launched a double deep to centre field in the 1st. That may have been a homer if his arm had a little more life. Didn’t matter though, because Smoak drove him in to give the Jays their first lead of the season. They added another run in the 5th, when Smoak hit an RBI double. Note that Pearce scored all the way from 1st on that play. Guy’s a burner. Smoak ended up finishing the day with three hits. It was also his bobblehead day. Make more bobbleheads.
The bottom of the order started off pretty poorly, as Diaz, Maile, and Ngoepe were retired on all of five pitches in the 2nd inning. Maile seemed to take that to heart. His next time up, in the 4th, he saw seven pitches. Sure, he didn’t make it on base, but it was progress. Then we saw something remarkable. Pillar walked(!) in the 6th, and MAILE DROVE HIM HOME WITH A SINGLE. To make this even more unbelievable, Maile took a walk in the 8th. Terrific stuff.
The Jays tried to manufacture a run in the 7th. Granderson led off the inning with a single. He was later thrown out trying to steal 2nd. Credit to Gary Sanchez, who made a perfect throw to get the out. It would be nice if Granderson and Grichuk developed into base stealing threats. Remember last year, when I kept saying that Chris Coghlan could hit? That’s how I felt through the first 2.5 games of this season about Yangervis Solarte. He paid me back for that promotion, when he launched a go-ahead home run 455 feet deep in the 8th. This guy can play.
The 8th only got better after that. Pillar got aboard and stole his way to 3rd. Maile followed by stealing 2nd. AND THEN PILLAR STOLE HOME! It was outrageous. As Buck said on the broadcast, that was the first time that a player stole three bases in an inning since 1996, and the first time in Blue Jays’ history.
Pillar has a .400 OBP and three stolen bases on the season, so there’s that.
Tepera came in to pitch the 8th. Neil Walker flied out, and Aaron Judge struck out looking at a strike at the knees. Giancarlo Stanton walked, but it didn’t matter, as Didi Gregorius struck out on the next pitch. Tepera remains a revelation for this team. Osuna pitched the 9th. Sanchez grounded out, Brandon Drury lined out, and Brett Gardner struck out to end it. Osuna looks damn good so far.
Maile deserves some recognition today. He had the RBI, he took a walk, he stole a base, he made a smart defensive play, and he seemed to call a good game throughout (as highlighted when Judge struck out against Tepera). Good job.
We’re playing for .500 tomorrow! Stroman is facing Sonny Grey. That’s favourable.
