Three games against the Houston Astros followed by three games against the Baltimore Orioles could have spelled disaster for the Toronto Blue Jays. Both teams had had Toronto's number this season with the Astros up 3-0 and Baltimore up 6-4 in their respective head-to-head season series. But Toronto did what they have done all season, they battled, they overcame deficits, they pitched well and got timely hits.
He went five innings, improving his ERA to 13 (lol) and striking out seven while allowing two runs to cross the plate. The problem, though, is that Worcester did not have two runs cross the plate all night. Their only extra-base hit was courtesy of Max Ferguson, and the WooSox also only drew one walk on the night. Their win expectancy was kept minimal for the vast majority of the night despite the thin lead Syracuse held.
