Jose Berrios bled base hits from the jump, got dragged deep into counts and threw 30 pitches in 2 of his 4 innings as the Marlins wore on him throughout his worst start in over 2 months ✍️ ArdenZwelling
He’d pitched into the sixth inning in each of his last 11 outings. He’d gone at least five innings in 13 of his 14 starts. Kevin Gausman’s done that 12 of his 15 times out; Chris Bassitt in 11 of 15.
Here’s a sentence: Good thing the Blue Jays recalled Trent Thornton Monday as an insurance policy, optioning Bowden Francis to create a roster spot. He followed Berrios and threw 24 pitches over two clean innings, buying Blue Jays manager John Schneider some much-needed breathing room in the middle of Monday’s debacle.
Yusei Kikuchi — effectively wild at the best of times — starts Tuesday, which is no given for a deep outing. The Blue Jays have been reticent to allow Kikuchi, who began the season as the club’s fifth starter, to journey too far into a third trip through the order, routinely pulling him after five innings even with pitch counts in the 80’s.But given how things have gone lately — plus the looming reality of a 12:10 p.m.
“We threw him a sinker and then a curveball for a ball,” Berrios said. “And then when I tried to make that curveball for a strike, I left it right in the middle and he got me.” “They were taking good pitches. In and off. Pitches that looked like a strike but were off. They were taking it — they weren’t swinging at that pitch. So, I think that’s why they got better results against me,” Berrios said. “I was trying to be aggressive, attack them. I was trying to throw quality pitches. But they were taking them. So, I was getting behind them. They made me work. I threw 100 pitches in just four innings. But I’m just trying to compete. And they did better than me.
Similar refrain in the fourth, as Daulton Varsho and Bo Bichette singles put runners on first and second with none out for Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who promptly grounded into a double play on the first pitch he saw. Guerrero swung at a good pitch to hit and the ball came off his bat at 113.7-m.p.h., his seventh-hardest hit ball in play of the season and the hardest-hit double play ball across MLB since 2015.
