The Blue Jays continue their roaring start to the second half with a 10-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals, who were shorthanded because their star players refused the COVID vaccine, which has been proven to be safe and effective.
The third inning encapsulated Berríos’ performance tonight. He started it off by walking the light-hitting Lars Nootbaar with four straight balls after getting ahead 0-2. Then, strike out to Andrew Knizner. A Tommy Edman single advanced Nootbar to second then Carlson struck again, singling home the Cards’ second run. Berríos then got Burnaby’s Tyler O’Neill swining before the still-frisky 42-year-old Albert Pujols singled in Edman to tie the game.
Between the bottom of the second into the sixth, Cardinals pitchers Andre Pallante and fireballer Jordan Hicks strung together 12 straight outs. But with one out, Teoscar Hernández broke the streak with a clean single to right-centre. Lourdes Gurriel followed with another single, which Carlson bobbled in the outfield and allowed Hernández to third; however, Gurriel was thrown out on the basepaths like a nincompoop on a very ill-advised attempt to second.
Junior Fernández was then brought in to face George Springer, fell behind 3-0, then, well you know what happened.
