Two weeks, four series, 12 games to decide Blue Jays fate
Against Boston, pitching was paramount — as it has been all season — but the offence, not so much. The Jays only allowed five runs over the three games but scored just 10, two of those coming in extra innings. It is an offence that remains as enigmatic as it does unreliable, an ongoing concern as October approaches.
To reach the same total, the Rangers will have to put together a 7-6 record while the Mariners would have to fashion an 8-5 mark down the stretch. Next up, fellow reliever Chad Green, who pitched the 13th and got the ‘W’ on Saturday and in so doing offered his biggest contribution yet to the Jays. Green was back up for his eighth appearance since recovering from Tommy John surgery on Sunday, striking out two of the four batters he faced in the seventh and eighth.
Not necessarily, although it is obviously a massive harbinger for the run-starved Toronto lineup should the first baseman build off that overdue long-ball burst. “I think he’s quieter than he’s been the whole year, especially the lower half,” Bassitt said. “He’s obviously understanding that pitching staffs are afraid of him and they should be.”Article content
