Another uninspiring loss for struggling Blue Jays
The “we’ll get ’em next time” refrain that has been the anthem of the 2023 season is getting more off key by the day, especially after losing by an aggregate of 26-7 through the first three of a four-game series that concludes here on Thursday.
This was supposed to be a big series for the Jays, a springboard into a run to take some of the stress out of the final two weeks of the season. Instead it’s all gone thud, especially in the latest debacle, as a team masquerading as a playoff contender suffered it’s worst loss since an 11-0 drubbing at the hands of the Miami Marlins on June 19..A third consecutive defeat to an opponent they could have all but taken care of this week dumped the Jays to 1.
This still may be a playoff team, but right now it’s hard to buy in on the prospect. At 80-66, the Jays have three fewer wins than the 2022 team did through 146 games and are about to be in a fight for their post-season lives. On Wednesday, the savvy-hitting Rangers took care of business the way good teams do: Seizing opportunity. In this one, it was belting a pair of homers off Toronto starter Yusei Kikuchi — a three-run shot by Nathanial Lowe in the third and a two-run blast from Robbie Grossman in the sixth.
