BALTIMORE (AP) — The Toronto Blue Jays are having a hard enough time this year when their lineup is healthy. So this win over the American League’s top team — with several Toronto players battling illness — was a potential turning point. “You don’t want to say May 13 is a huge game, but this was a huge (expletive) win,” manager John Schneider said. “We had nine guys, and we obviously had no moves to make. ... I told them before the game, ‘There’s no secrets here boys. You’re not getting pinch-hit for, you’re not getting pinch-run for.’” Outfielders George Springer and Kevin Kiermaier and third baseman Justin Turner were out because they’d been sick, and catcher Danny Jansen had back spasms. That left Toronto basically without any position players aside from those who started Monday night at Baltimore. Then the game went to extra innings, but the Blue Jays prevailed 3-2 in 10. |
