Jays Blanked by Suarez's Masterpiece, Cease's Struggles

0:00On April 28, Blue Jays got blamed five nothing by the Phillies, Monday night courtesy of Ranger Suarez dealing a masterpiece. Dude went eight shut-out innings, surrendering just one hit while the Jays offense went ice-cold. No knocks till the bottom of the sixth, when Jesus. Sanchez laced a double. Their starter Dylan C's flash brilliance early, mowing down the Phillies through three innings on only 35 pitches with five strikeouts. That efficiency had him looking like Sai Young contender material again. But the lineup couldn't solve Suarez, mustering just a couple hard contacts in a sea of soft ones. 17 balls over 95 miles per hour. 14 from Philly Bats. Fans are split, blame the Jays for not adjusting, or straight credit to Suarez's heat. Seize hit a wall late, burning 72 pitches over two and two there's more innings, walking three and serving up the damage. His secret sauce is command-top tier swing and miss outside the zone, especially ahead in counts where that slider bites.

1:01If sea strings together those strong outings without the fade, Jays pitching stays elite. Otherwise, it's back to the drawing board as they chase. The playoffs. You've been listening to MLB News today, AI-powered baseball coverage.
