| Teoscar Hernandez, whose smile is the sun |
It had to have been an odd day for everyone all around, but on the field and in the dugout Wednesday night, the Blue Jays seemed as merry a band as it might please you to see. And why wouldn't they be, I suppose, as they scored six off the very fine Zack Wheeler on the strength of home runs from Vladdy and Téo (who added another one late, too), while Ross Stripling cruised through seven innings in which the only trouble came on two unearned runs in that final frame (of his). Two hits, no walks? Yes please. Tim Mayza pitched a clean eighth inning for the second night in a row, but the 8-2 margin meant that, rather than Jordan Romano, the ninth fell to Trevor Richards, who struck out the side to wrap up the two-game sweep of the Phillies. And what could be gleaned of new manager John Schneider's approach? Well, he put the hit-and-run on twice, and it worked out both times; Raimel Tapia and Bo Bichette each stole a bag, too. Maybe we are hard-hustling speedsters now! Vladdy will be so happy!
