While Bluebird banters Tom Dakers made 13 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 1: note prior to the game on Twitter that June first 14 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 1: was the first day Alberta allowed bars to open patios 15 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: since the lockdown.

As 18 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 1: the game got underway, Robbie Ray was quickly the story, 19 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 1: leading off with strikeouts against Jazz Chisholm Junior and Starling 20 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: Marte before cranking it up to ninety eight point three 21 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 1: miles per hour to get past Hazus Aguilar, who would 22 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 1: later pop up a fastball tea in the inning. But 23 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 1: from the first inning, Major League Baseball home run leader 24 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: Vladimir Guerrero Junior and Bobachet had Sandy's number, as Bobachet 25 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 1: jumped on a first pitch in the first and he 26 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: got around on it, hit it slightly over it, and 27 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: grounded to Luis Marte, whose major league career as of 28 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: yesterday is now underway well. Vladimir Guerrero Junior followed, jumping 29 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: on a first pitch sinker and lining it to Wright 30 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: for a double. That tandem got it done for the 31 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: Blue Jays, as the second time through the order, they 32 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:10,679 Speaker 1: were also on Sandy's off speed. After the third got 33 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: going with a Marcus Simeon infield single, bo Bashett struck 34 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: a fourth pitch change up one hundred and eight miles 35 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: per hour into the outfield, and vlad followed with his 36 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: seventeenth home run on a first pitch slider, putting the 37 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: Jays up three to zero before Sandy shut the door 38 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 1: with consecutive strikeouts as Robbie Ray matched Sandy, the Marlins 39 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 1: bats racked up strikeouts while offering some breakout potential at 40 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: the plate. In the second, back to back singles by 41 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: Jorge Alfaro and Issan Diez showed off their bat skill 42 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 1: against a legitimate major league starter, while veteran players Garret Cooper, 43 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: Adam Davall, and John Birdie all struck out in the inning. 44 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: After a Jorge Alfaro double play in the fourth, it 45 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: wasn't till the fifth that Miami got on the board. 46 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: After John Birdie showed some aggression taking a first pitch 47 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: for a flyout, Louise Marte worked a walk after falling 48 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: behind in the count. Jazz worked a curveball out of 49 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: Robbie Ray, a pitcher that generally sticks fast ball. Slider, 50 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: pulled that one out of the hat to get Jazz 51 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 1: to fly out and starling Marte came through with a 52 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: double to score Louise Marte and doing so, bringing his 53 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: double streak to three games. In the sixth, Garrett Cooper 54 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: led off with a single and it was erased by 55 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: a three pitch end of all strikeout and another double 56 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: play for Jorge l. Foo As Robbie Ray ended his 57 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: night with six innings and nine strikeouts. Sandy matched him 58 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: with six innings, four strikeouts, and zero walks, but that 59 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: was not enough, as nine hits, including the home run, 60 00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: allowed four earned runs, earning him the loss. Miami didn't 61 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: get to Tim Misa in the seventh or Rafayeodolas in 62 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: the eighth, who struck out the side, while Miami countered 63 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: with their bullpen members John Curtis, who worked a shout 64 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: out inning, hit ninety eight and struck out two, and 65 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: Zach Popp saw a bit of a velocity tick up 66 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 1: by the loudest Goryel Junior was able to ding him 67 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: for a home run.
