Good Pitching and Defense, Jays Beat Twins
Photo by David Berding/ Blue Jays 3 Twins 0 We can’t stop ourselves from making outs on the basepaths: In the first, not outs George Springer on first to start off the game, and he tries to steal, and he’s out. It is possible it was a hit-and-run that didn’t work, but still a free out. In the seventh, Matt Chapman was on first after being hit by pitch.

Maybe too many walks (though the...

Duane Ward turns 59 today. Duane is number 2 on the Blue Jays’ all-time saves list. Jordan Romano is seventh on the list at 72. He’d need to play a couple more full seasons as our closer to catch him. Ward was born May 18, 1964, in Park View, New Mexico. He was drafted out of high school in the first round of the 1982 amateur draft, 9th overall, by the Atlanta Braves. A big (6’4”) right-hander Ward struggled as starting prospect in the Braves system, having control issues walking 5 per 9 innings without getting the strikeouts the way he would later. On July 6, 1986, the...
