On Friday night, the Blue Jays kept switching things up in an effort to find a solution for their ongoing offensive problems. Still, they were unable to find the answers, and despite yet another outstanding performance by one of their starters, they were defeated badly.
The Blue Jays are losing despite having strong starts.
Manager John Schneider referred to Toronto’s 3-2 loss to the Twins at Rogers Centre as “a little unlucky today.” It didn’t go our way, but I still love how we persevered and how hard we worked in the ninth inning. Yes, it was awful.
That ninth inning served as the most recent synopsis of this offense’s continuous story.
Following a recent lineup change by the Blue Jays, Bo Bichette batted sixth on Friday. With two runs behind and one strike remaining, Bichette singled to left field on a hard-hit ball to tie the score. Isiah Kiner-Falefa spotted an unlikely opening between the Twins’ first and second basemen to score Bichette and bring the score to one run. Cavan Biggio worked a walk behind him.
Ernie Clement then squared a hanging sweeper right back at Griffin Jax, who deflected it off his leg and allowed first baseman Carlos Santana to pick it up and trot back to the bag for the final out, stranding runners at the corners and leadoff man Davis Schneider — moved up as George Springer deals with a virus — on deck.
“What can you do,” John Schneider said after recapping that ninth-inning sequence.
You may take advantage of the previous opportunities, like the one the Blue Jays had in the bottom of the fifth.
With runners on second and third and no outs in the inning, Davis Schneider was brought up by back-to-back hits from Kiner-Falefa and Clement. Given his ability to manage the strike zone, it appeared to be the perfect setup for one of the Blue Jays’ most productive hitters, who was the team’s first pick to take over the leadoff position.
In that vital at-bat, Schneider struck out on three pitches. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Daulton Varsho both produced scorching lineouts to eliminate the threat and maintain the Twins lead.
According to John Schneider, “it’s a situation you want to take advantage of, obviously.” “[Davis] didn’t finish it, but I’ll take him up there at any moment. Those are the points where you have to try to at least make one and make a small comeback. That didn’t happen tonight.
There were flashes, but they weren’t new to us. The Blue Jays have “left some wins on the table” this season, as Schneider has stated several times. That becomes even more apparent when you take into account how significant this run is, with the Twins scheduled to play six games in six days, starting with a road game against the AL East-leading Orioles.

It also makes sense when you consider Friday’s statement from Yusei Kikuchi.
With eight innings of two-run ball, four hits, three strikeouts, and no walks on 97 pitches, the left-hander delivered what was maybe his greatest start of the season. This was his sixth consecutive six-inning or longer outing.
He accomplished this by taking on an aggressive Twins lineup and displaying some emotion on the mound while chopping a fastball that reached 98 mph. Anybody’s heart rate will increase when they manage to hold off one of the league’s hottest teams.
Through an interpreter, Kikuchi stated, “We know the Twins and the Orioles are really good teams, and we know it’s an important stretch.” “I tried my hardest, and we wanted to win. It’s a disappointing outcome in the end.
