The Jays refuse to do it the easy way in this series. The offence again didn’t show up until late, this time the seventh inning, although at least when they arrived this time they did enough to give a bit of margin for error. Alek Manoah, dealing with some kind of stomach flu since last night, was visibly not himself but battled through a very good start anyway, and the bullpen kept it dramatic but got it done.
Anthony Bass relieved him, getting Randy Arozarena to ground out to keep it 2-1 heading into the seventh inning stretch. In the sixth, Vladimir Guerrero jr lead off with a grounder smoked over the third base bag and into the corner. It kicked off the wall and right to the left fielder Peralta, who was almost able to gun Vlad down sliding into second. The throw was just off line, though, and he made it in safely. Bichette moved him over to third with a ground out to second, prompting Kevin Cash to go back to his bullpen, pulling Clevinger in favour of Jalen Beeks.
Adam Cimber came out to try to hold that lead in the eighth. He allowed a soft line single to Harold Ramirez, and a ground ball single to Isaac Paredes that moved Ramirez to third around two ground outs. He wasn’t quite sharp, running deep counts, and John Schneider decided to play it safe with the unexpected lead, going to Jordan Romano to attempt the four out save. He got the first one on a grounder to short from Randy Arozarena, preserving the three run lead.
