The Toronto Blue Jays are in a four game slide with another loss against the Los Angeles Angels last night. They'll look salvage a win tonight when Chris Bassitt gets the ball versus Jose Soriano.
Jose Berrios had a season high 9 K's against the Angels on Wednesday night.
In 6 innings he gave up 5 hits, 2 earned runs and 4 walks. Both runs came way of two solo shots by Yoan Moncada and Kyren Paris.
Yusei Kikuchi went 6 innings giving up 5 hits, 1 earned run, no walks and 6 strikeouts. A total of 91 pitches 70 of them strikes.
Anthony Santander drives in Vladimir Guerrero Jr from second base with an rbi single up the middle to get the Blue Jays on the board first in the top of the 6th.
Yoan Moncada ties it up for the Angels with a solo shot off Berrios in the bottom of the inning.
Myles Straw drives in Ernie Clement with a single up the middle, then
Bo Bichette drills a long single to left field bringing in Gimenez and Straw to put the Blue Jays up 4-3 in the top of the 7th.
Then Jose Berrios gives up a first pitch solo shot to Kyren Paris in the bottom of the inning to cut the score in half.
As a precaution Blue Jays second baseman Andres Gimenez came out of the game at the end of the 7th inning with right quad tightness.
With the Blue Jays up 4-2 in the bottom of the ninth, Jeff Hoffman loads the bases with a walk and consecutive singles for Jorge Solar.
Solar walks it off with a bases clearing double down the third baseline. The Blue Jays seem to be finding ways to lose late in games this season. Another gut punch loss.
