SEATTLE — The bigger the game, the higher the stakes, the greater the attention, the more a game seems made for Alek Manoah.
The scuffling Jays haven’t been able to do much to support any of their starters over the past week. And facing an all too familiar elite arm themselves in the form of former Jay Robbie Ray, their latest attempt to snap a cold streak was always going to be a tough assignment.
The loss furthered the Jays free fall to eight losses in their past nine games and three consecutive defeats here in the Pacific Northwest. Manoah’s brilliance — he allowed three hits and just those two runs while striking out seven over 7.1 innings — was essentially wasted when the bats couldn’t support him.Article content
A situation that insisted on getting at least one across ended in failure as Matt Chapman struck out, Santiago Espinal meekly popped out to second out and Raimel Tapia hit a ground ball into a force out. The team is trying everything to snap out of it, including a players only meeting that happened earlier in this road trip. The offence can’t get untracked, striking out 10 times on Saturday, including six from the right hand of Ray, who went six innings and plowed just three hits.
