Lately an offensive onslaught from the Blue Jays has felt inevitable. That it didn't come in their loss to the Rays was an aberration. But there are real concerns after Jose Berrios left his latest gem with abdominal tightness. ShiDavidi | TD_Canada
Even in games where the opposition starter has held them down — like Saturday night for example, when Keegan Akin of the Baltimore Orioles carried a no-hitter into the seventh and final inning before an 11-run outburst — a rampage felt imminent., with their exploiting-every-edge roster and relentless opportunism.
“ was doing a great job and just to be cautious,” said manager Charlie Montoyo. “When he came in from the seventh inning, he said he felt something. The moment he says that, 'OK, you're good,' and that's why we took him out.” Consider this sampling of hard-luck outs: George Springer’s liner to short in the first, with an expected batting average of .860; McGuire getting robbed by a sliding Manuel Margot in centre in the fourth on a ball carrying an.890 xBA; Margot also snagging a Vladimir Guerrero Jr. laser off the bat at 113.4 m.p.h., with an xBA of .780; and Teoscar Hernandez’s liner to centre, with an xBA of .410 that ended that same frame.
McGuire’s single opened the sixth against Pete Fairbanks, but he got the next three batters, including a Guerrero pop-up on a 98.8 m.p.h. centre-cut fastball he just got under to end the frame. After Fairbanks, Cash rolled out JT Chargois, David Robertson and Andrew Kittredge to lock down the win. Despite allowing eight balls in play at 98.3 m.p.h. or above in his five innings, Rasmussen gave up only two hits and a walk while striking out three.
