Blue Jays 1 Guardians 6
The Jays had all sorts of troubles with Guardians starter Gavin Williams. Well, really just one trouble. They couldn't hit him. Williams went seven innings and allowed just two hits and a walk with thirteen strikeouts.
Our one run was in the fourth. Kazuma Okamoto led off with a single. After Andrés Giménez struck out, Ernie Clement went to a full count and the Jays sent Okamoto (surprising me, Oka is not fast and the Jays were striking out a lot). Clement took ball four, but the Guardians threw to second anyway. The throw was well wide of second and Okamoto went to third on the play. After Myles Straw struck out (I really thought that he had to make contact or we weren't going to score at all today) Williams threw a wild pitch to Brett Bateman, allowing Oka to score. Oka going first to home without the help of a hit wasn't on my bingo card.
The Jays didn't have any more luck against Guardian relievers, Hunter Gaddis and Matt Festa.
The bullpen day started off ok, for the Jays, but didn't end well.
