All of the potential and prowess of the Toronto offence converged on Sunday in Cincinnati, where the Blue Jays hammered the host Reds 10\u002D3.
But how much can be gleaned from the Jays’ 10-3 pounding of the Reds in the rubber match of the three-game set, will be measured only in the days to follow with a date in Baltimore against the AL-leading Orioles on tap.For a Jays offence known for underachieving, what played out at Great American Ball Park must be viewed as long overdue. All of that potential converged on the same day as the visitors pounded out 12 hits, including five home runs — tying a season-high — four doubles and a triple.
And the way the Jays have been pitching, a return to full strength might prove to be a catalyst for more success with the season now down to its final 37 games. Almost lost in the win was the way Hyun-Jin Ryu pitched. The veteran lefty was at his crafty best in arguably his best outing since returning from Tommy John surgery. The two runs he yielded were unearned.
Gold Glove third baseman Matt Chapman threw a ball into right field when the intended target was the bag at second.
