“It's nice to contribute, nice to do something positive, but in that moment, I was just thinking to get something to drive and it worked out.” Teoscar Hernandez, Alejandro Kirk and Matt Chapman each drove in a run for Toronto to back a gutsy performance by starting pitcher Alek Manoah. The burly ace had been scheduled to start the matinee for the BlueManoah pitched 6 2/3 innings, striking out five but allowing two runs on five hits and two walks. He'd been up all night vomiting and required an intravenous drip to help him hydrate before taking the mound.
Choi opened the scoring in the third, working Manoah to a full count before launching a slider to deep right field. Santiago Espinal replaced Cavan Biggio to lead off the inning and drew a walk and advanced to third on two wild pitches from Poche. After Chapman struck out, Danny Jansen pitch hit for Raimel Tapia and drew a walk, bringing Merrifield - in for Jackie Bradley Jr. - to the plate.
