If the Blue Jays keep getting that kind of performance from Jackson, they’ll be happy. Their rotation certainly needs stability at a time that four starters are on the injured list. One of them, Clayton Richard, could make his Blue Jays debut as soon as Saturday, but that’s by no means guaranteed.
Though the Blue Jays didn’t support Jackson with much offence, Drury did his part from the leadoff spot, reaching on a single a walk and an error and scoring all three times. While Guerrero Jr., drove in one of those runs with a groundout, he finished the afternoon 0-for-3 with a walk. To his credit, he hit a ball to centre at 107.1 m.p.h. in his second trip to the plate only to see former teammate Kevin Pillar catch it.
A four-strikeout day added to the early-season frustration for Teoscar Hernandez, who’s now hitting .189/.262/.299. While the Blue Jays have seen consistent quality contact from Hernandez at times, those results are undeniably disappointing for a player who hit 22 homers with a .770 OPS last year. Now, the Blue Jays head to Chicago for a rematch against the White Sox, hopeful that more offence will soon arrive to help a pitching staff in need of help.
