In order to provide a distraction from the much more serious things going on in the world, Sportsnet’s Blue Jays radio broadcaster Mike Wilner has been simulating each scheduled Blue Jays game in what was supposed to have been the 2020 season and providing weekly updates in this space. With Major League Baseball ramping up for what they hope will be an abbreviated 2020 season, much of our attention will shift towards Spring Training 2.0 and all the preparations for baseball’s return.
The second inning started with three-straight Blue Jays hits to load the bases with nobody out, but both Jonathan Davis and Anderson followed with ground balls that resulted in force outs at the plate. Not to worry, Bichette was next, and he smacked a two-run single. Travis Shaw then did the same. A brilliant performance by Trent Thornton did the trick this time. The sophomore righty threw seven innings of four-hit ball, with the only damage being a two-run homer by Avisail Garcia in the bottom of the fifth. In the top of that inning, the Blue Jays had taken a 3-0 lead thanks to a two-run shot by Rowdy Tellez and a two-out Joe Panik double that was cashed by a Davis single.
He didn’t come out for the eighth, though, and with a four-run lead, the Brewers didn’t go to their regular set-up man, Brent Suter, instead bringing in righty Ray Black. In the second inning, Andrelton Simmons doubled and Jason Castro followed with a high pop-up toward the seats on the first base side. Tellez ran after it and crashed into the short retaining wall. The ball dropped foul, and Rowdy had to leave the game, replaced by Billy McKinney. That would prove quite meaningful.
Working on a third day out of four, Giles wasn’t perfect, but he stranded a leadoff double, getting Trout to ground out to end what was the Blue Jays’ eighth straight win, a 4-3 nail-biter. Trout, Anthony Rendon and Shohei Ohtani combined to go 0-for-12. Credit the Jays for making it kind of close, though. McKinney homered in the third, giving him a round-tripper three consecutive at-bats, and a three-run homer by Gurriel Jr. in the seventh cut the Angels’ lead to 9-6, but Toronto would get no closer. Ohtani added a two-run shot off Wilmer Font in the eighth and the win streak ended at eight with an 11-8 loss.
