Monday, 7:45 p.m. ET / 4:45 p.m. PT : Toronto RHP Jose Berrios vs. St. Louis RHP Miles Mikolas [brightcove videoID=6306633715112 playerID=JCdte3tMv height=360 width=640]The Blue Jays missed yet another chance to sweep a series on Sunday because of a familiar problem – lack of offence. Toronto went 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position in a 3-2 loss to the visiting Cincinnati Reds.
We’re now a quarter of the way through the season, so it is a major concern. The Blue Jays scored just seven runs in three games against the league-worst Reds. Despite that, they had a chance for an elusive sweep before Toronto native Joey Votto broke a tie with a solo shot in the eighth inning off Yimi Garcia.The Cardinals are coming off a three-game sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates, capped by an 18-4 win in the Steel City on Sunday.
The game was so one-sided that the Cardinals had veteran catcher Yadier Molina pitch the ninth, preserving their bullpen . “Mine was better; I didn’t give up a double like he did,” Pujols told St. Louis media. Molina disagreed: “I didn’t walk anybody.” Molina gave up all four Pirates runs. Meanwhile Cardinals starter and former Blue Jay Steven Matz exited in the first inning with shoulder stiffness.Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt is second in the National League in batting average, hitting .342. He has six home runs and 29 RBIs. Manager Oliver Marmol gave Goldschmidt the day off on Sunday.Cardinals outfielder Tyler O’Neill, a native of Burnaby, B.C.
After the mini-series in St. Louis, the Blue Jays get an off day on Wednesday before playing four games in Los Angeles against the Angels to wrap up this road trip.
