OOTP Season Sim Game 16: Jays win on Easter

First Happy Easter. I hope the Bunny was good to you all.

Royals 3 Blue Jays 11

The Jays get a big win on Easter. The get into double digits for runs for the third time in the 16 games so far this season.

The Jays got 7 runs in the third inning, and that ruined all the suspense. The second went:

• Teoscar Hernandez double.
• Vladimir Guerrero home run.
• Randal Grichuk hit by pitch.
• Travis Shaw walk.
• Lourdes Gurriel home run. The Royals finally pulled Mike Montgomery, Jesse Hahn.
• Cavan Biggio walk.
• Brandon Drury doubled. Two more score and it is 7-0.

We got two more in the fifth. Biggio walked, Brandon Drury double Biggio home. An out later, Bo Bichette walked (and stole second). Drury scored on a Hernandez ground out.

And two more in the eighth. Reese McGuire walked and Bichette homered.

We have 13 hits, with 3 home runs (Vlad, Lourdes and Bo), 4 doubles (McGuire, Teoscar and 2 from Drury) and 6 walks.
