The walk scores as the Jays score two runs with a walk and two singles.

In the second inning, the Phillies turned two doubles and a walk into one run, and probably were lucky to get that one.

Nola at 63 pitches in first 3 innings.

[Patchmk88]

JT can’t help but swing at balls in on his hands.

[EDmuch]

Why is Cave in the line up?

[EDmuch]

I have resisted the urge to second guess Rob but ………..

[kikutaro]

Daulton Varsho

Ball (84.7 mph cutter)
Foul (85.5 mph changeup)
Ball (85.4 mph changeup)
Ball (79.2 mph knuckle curve)
Ball (92.1 mph four-seam fastball)

Daulton Varsho walks.

[LoneStarPhan]

Meanwhile, back at the game, a lead off walk from Nola. Looks like he plans to give the Blue Jays more runs. Walks the .217 hitter.

[kikutaro]

Santiago Espinal

Pickoff Attempt 1B
Foul (89.7 mph sinker)
Ball (89.2 mph sinker)
In play, out(s) (85.4 mph cutter)

Santiago Espinal flies out to center fielder Johan Rojas.

[LoneStarPhan]

Did Stott lose the ball on that pop up? Another reason to play Rojas every game regardless of his hitting or who is pitching for the other team.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Rojas’ speed saves a pop fly that Stott could not pick up from dropping in for a bloop hit

[kikutaro]

Paul DeJong

Swinging strike (80.8 mph knuckle curve)
Foul (90.3 mph sinker)
Pickoff Attempt 1B
Foul tip (79.6 mph knuckle curve)

Paul DeJong strikes out on a foul tip.

[kikutaro]

Whit Merrifield

Called strike (90.3 mph sinker)
Swinging strike (86.5 mph cutter)
In play, out(s) (89.7 mph four-seam fastball)

Whit Merrifield lines out to center fielder Johan Rojas.
