Quick Recap: Jays Lose to Braves

Jays 4 Braves 5

The Jays didn’t have a hit until the seventh inning and then they started scoring.

And there is a tiny bit of intrigue, Reese McGuire was listed in the lineup, before the game, but he didn’t play. Kellin Deglan caught instead. Likely it is a minor injury that we haven’t been told about.

It doesn’t seem that any of the beat reporters have mentioned it.

Pitchers:

• Shaun Anderson: 3 innings, 2 hits, 1 earned, 3 walks, 3 strikeouts. He was well over 50 pitches when he came out.
• Adam Cimber: 1.1, 1 strikeout. Very impressing.
• Tim Mayza: Got 2 outs, gave up 2 solo homers.
• David Phelps: Got 2 outs, gave up 2 hit, 2 earned. One of the hits was a popup that blew away from third baseman Trevor Schwecke. Landed on the infield dirt, but the batter was running and got to second.
• Kyle Johnston: 1 inning, 2 hits, 2 strikeouts.
• Trevor Richards: 1.1, 2 strikeouts. He looked very good.
