Whit Merrifield’s three hits sparks Blue Jays’ offence in 4-1 win over Los Angeles Angeles 4-1
Whit Merrifield went 3 for 4, including a home run, as Toronto’s new leadoff man to help the Blue Jays down the Los Angeles Angels 4-1 on Friday.
Kevin Gausman was superb for the Blue Jays over six-plus innings, adding nine strikeouts to his American League-leading total of 171. He allowed a run on five hits and three walks. Lucas Giolito pitched 5⅓ innings in his Angels debut, allowing three runs on six hits and a walk with five strikeouts. Jose Soriano and Jacob Webb came out of L.A.’s bullpen.
There had been speculation that Ohtani would be on the trade block ahead of Tuesday’s deadline but L.A.’s acquisition of Giolito and Lopez made it clear the Angels would push for the playoffs. The 2021 American League MVP pitched in the first game of a doubleheader in Detroit on Thursday, striking out nine in a one-hit complete game shutout before hitting two homers in the evening game.
