PREAMBLE:
The Blue Jays look to avoid their first sweep of the season in a 4 game series against one of the only teams that has been offensively worse than them this season...because...baseball :(
OF NOTE:
Smoak scratched for a 3rd time this week due to a "sore neck", hopefully this is not serious.
Searching for a positive #BlueJays fans? Toronto's pitching staff has notched a franchise record 110 strikeouts through 10 games. That's tied for the third most in MLB history through 10 games.— Gregor Chisholm (@gregorMLB) April 7, 2019
And if you're more of a glass-half empty person, I've got you covered there too. #BlueJays .191 batting average is their lowest in franchise history through 10 games. Previous record was .191 in 2017 and 1981.— Gregor Chisholm (@gregorMLB) April 7, 2019
New brand of ball: Kevin Pillar bunts to right side and safely slides headfirst into the bag. Steals second. Advances to third on catcher's error. Scores on Steven Duggar's sac fly. There's a whole new world out there.— John Shea (@JohnSheaHey) April 6, 2019
