Blueberries. Mmmm… Yummy. Bluefin tuna. Someone get me a napkin because I can’t stop drooling. Blue Jays? Barf.
Toronto was once an exciting team with a young, promising core that won 89, 92 and 91 games in the last three seasons, respectively. This year they languish in the cellar of the AL East and are 26th in runs scored, 27th in home runs, 27th in stolen bases. Their pitching staff is also 27th in ERA.
On Thursday, at home, Toronto once again showed its true colors, as it was only able to muster two hits on offense while Tampa Bay pounded out 13 runs on 16 hits.
Brandon Lowe ($4,500; 35 FTPS) led the way, going 4-for-4 with a home run, two doubles, two walks, three RBI and two runs scored. Isaac Paredes ($4,400; 22 FTPS) went 2-for-5 with a double, a walk, four RBI and two runs scored. Amed Rosario ($3,400; 25 FTPS) finished 3-for-6 with a double, two runs scored and two stolen bases. Nine-hole hitter Alex Jackson ($2,000; 20 FTPS) provided plenty of action, as well, a double, three RBI and two runs scored.
On the mound, Taj Bradley ($9,000; 29.7 FTPS) will soon have a Mahal constructed in his name if he keeps pitching the way he has. In 75.1 innings this season, Bradley has a 3.56 FIP and 10.75 K/9. On Thursday, he struck out seven in six innings while walking one and allowing only two hits without an earned run.
