Randal Grichuk shows he’s worth the money as Jays beat Orioles, avoid sweep Globe_Sports
Randal Grichuk of the Toronto Blue Jays hits a solo home run in the eighth inning against the Baltimore Orioles at Rogers Centre on April 3, 2019.Nothing like a little US$52-million incentive to help put you right in the swing of things.
Grichuk said it was nice to contribute right away with talk of his new contract hogging much of the limelight over the past 24 hours. Grichuk said when Baltimore’s Trey Mancini lifted a three-run home run to centre in the top of the ninth inning to make for an uneasy finish for the Blue Jays, it was almost as if the ghost of Pillar was haunting him.“I had one fan on Mancini’s home run saying, ‘Pillar would have caught that,’” Grichuk said. “That’s definitely nice of him.
The 32-year-old has yet to surrender a run, on Wednesday handcuffing the Orioles on just two hits over seven innings pitched while striking out eight. The retooling Blue Jays completed their first home stand with a 3-4 record and will now head out for their first road trip of the season that will take them through Cleveland for four games and then into Boston for two.“Obviously I think we started out a little slow offensively,” he said. “The pitching’s been phenomenal. I’m excited to see that over a full season. If they can do that, or even close to that, I think we’re going to be in good shape.
