A pair of singles and a stolen base put pinch-runners Myles Straw and Daulton Varsho at third and second bases, respectively with none out. A wild pitch by Duran allowed Straw to score the tying run as Varsho advanced to third. A clutch single by Brandon Valenzuela brought in Varsho with the winning run as the Jays walked off the Phillies 3-2. The following are three takeaways on a rare night when Ernie Clement struck out twice, a night when Toronto’s pitching held the Phillies
to five hits. DEALING DYLAN Having last pitched against big-league hitters on May 24, it was expected Blue Jays starter Dylan Cease would show some rust when he took to the mound Tuesday for his 12th start of the season. In the first inning, Cease threw a wild pitch that advanced Trea Turner to third base after Philadelphia’s No. 2 hitter had reached base on a double. A second double in the inning cashed in Turner. What followed was a series of outs by Cease,
who had found his groove. As it turned out, the only damage Cease gave up came in the first inning.
Blue Jays, Phillies, Vlad Jr, Brandon Valenzuela, Myles Straw, Daulton Varsho, wild pitch by Duran, Dylan Cease, Trea Turner, walk-off win 3-2
So Vlad Jr started it and Valenzuela just finished it huh? Wild.
I swear every time there’s a wild pitch it turns into chaos. Cease had it after the first inning though, right? Also why is Toronto always doing the walk-off stuff lately.
Wait I got confused—wasn’t this about Toronto’s pitching holding Philly to five hits? But then Turner scored on doubles and a wild pitch, so like… how is that only five hits? Idk man baseball math
Pinch-runners at 3rd and 2nd with none out sounds like MLB The Show nonsense. If the Phillies had just not made that first inning double thing then Cease wouldn’t’ve thrown the wild pitch? Also Ernie Clement striking out twice is kinda crazy like dude was cold.
