Mike Wilner: Blue Jays let another series slip away in Baltimore
are two of the best defensive corner infielders in the game, but each failed to make a pair of plays they ordinarily do.
Chapman couldn’t make a clean transfer from glove to throwing hand on Jorge Mateo’s slow roller in the second and failed to barehand a soft James McCann grounder in the fifth. Both went for singles, but neither factored into the scoring. Guerrero went too far to his right chasing a Ramon Urias grounder in the fifth and it went under his glove for an inning-extending error. Had he let it go and gone back to the bag, Whit Merrifield would have had the play. And Guerrero couldn’t flag down a 103.9-m.p.h. rocket off the bat of Anthony Santander in the sixth. It was a tough play — the ball appeared to take an odd hop — but it’s one we’re used to seeing him make.
appeared to have struck out Gunnar Henderson with a 2-2 fastball at the bottom of the zone to end the first inning, but home-plate umpire Carlos Torres called it a ball. Two pitches later, Henderson singled home the game’s first run.blasted a 100.9-m.p.h. Felix Bautista fastball over the right-field foul pole. He thought it was fair, first-base umpire Brock Ballou called it foul, and a review couldn’t tell, so the call stood.
