After showing signs of progress the past couple of games, the Blue Jays offence saw their early-season struggles return on a rainy night in Minnesota. (bnicholsonsmith).
Others are still awaiting an offensive breakout. After a one for four night at the plate, Brandon Drury has a .401 OPS on the year. The offensive potential that intrigued the Blue Jays when they acquired him in last summer’s J.A. Happ trade has yet to materialize in results at the plate. Even so, the Blue Jays believe Drury’s work behind the scenes will eventually pay off.
As for the pitching, starter Trent Thornton allowed four runs in 4.2 innings while walking three and striking out three. That’s a second consecutive tough start for Thornton after two tremendous outings to begin the year. The short outing from Thornton led to an opportunity for Rule 5 pick Elvis Luciano, who recovered from a wild pitch and Marwin Gonzalez single to retire the next four hitters he faced, including two strikeouts.
