[LoneStarPhan]

Another ball hit hard off of Hunter, but Harper able to get this one to end the inning.

Ball hit by Tellez probably a double play if the runner were still on first base. The successful two strike sacrifice bunt may have earned the Jays a run.

[kikutaro]

Alec Bohm

Defensive Substitution: Brandon Drury replaces Rowdy Tellez, batting 9th, playing shortstop.
Pitching Change: Jordan Romano replaces Wilmer Font.
Ball (97.5 mph four-seam fastball)
Foul (90.2 mph slider)
Swinging strike (97.1 mph four-seam fastball)
Foul (96.9 mph four-seam fastball)
Foul (97.9 mph four-seam fastball)
Foul (93. mph slider)
Ball (93.6 mph slider)
Ball (96.2 mph four-seam fastball)
Swinging strike (90. mph slider)

Alec Bohm strikes out swinging.

[zambonir]

As frustrating Tommy Hunter innings go it was not that bad. But now we're saving Morgan and Neris for either extras or Game 2, so would be nice to make something happen here.

[kikutaro]

Roman Quinn

Swinging strike (97. mph four-seam fastball)
Swinging strike (90.8 mph slider)
Swinging strike (98.5 mph four-seam fastball)

Roman Quinn strikes out swinging.

[LoneStarPhan]

First two up for the Phillies clearly overmatched by this pitcher.

[andyb]

Toronto definitely seems to have a bullpen with a bunch of guys throwing in the upper 90s.

[zambonir]

Yup is it us or them?

(Both in this case I think. Bohm and Quinn are still overmatched more often that not).

Now Neris is up with Guerra.

[kikutaro]

Andrew McCutchen

Called strike (91.4 mph slider)
Ball (91.1 mph slider)
Ball (89.6 mph slider)
Ball (96.9 mph four-seam fastball)
Swinging strike (87.8 mph slider)
Swinging strike (96.7 mph four-seam fastball)

[zambonir]

At least Cutch made the guy throw some pitches.

[LoneStarPhan]

Momentum seems to have moved to the Blue Jays once both teams went to their bullpens.

Phillies have now K'd eleven times in 7 innings.

[kikutaro]

Travis Shaw

Pitching Change: Deolis Guerra replaces Tommy Hunter.
Ball (76.7 mph curveball)
In play, out(s) (82.8 mph changeup)

Travis Shaw grounds out, second baseman Jean Segura to first baseman Rhys Hoskins.

[kikutaro]

Teoscar Hernandez

Called strike (92.3 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (83.2 mph changeup)
Ball (88.4 mph slider)
Foul (83. mph changeup)
In play, no out (83.9 mph changeup)

Teoscar Hernandez singles on a sharp line drive to left fielder Phil Gosselin.

[kikutaro]

Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

In play, no out (92.9 mph four-seam fastball)

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. singles on a line drive to center fielder Roman Quinn. Teoscar Hernandez to 3rd.

[zambonir]

Well, this isn't great relief pitching but probably hard to defend a fly ball that hits the bat twice.

[LoneStarPhan]

The view for review didn't show much but a really close play just missed getting a huge out.

Add luck to the Blue Jay side and we are really cooked.

No error on Quinn? Runner stopped at second and didn't go to third until Quinn missed the ball initially.
