Toronto-For a second consecutive match, one of Boston’s main relief pitchers made an advantage at the exit.
Justin Slaten Handed over three -to -house career in Slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. At the eighth ticket Thursday. It Red Sox lost 4-2 In The Blue Jays here at Rogers Center.
Slaten was charged with blown savings and loss. It happened one day after Garrett Whitlock, another reliable, reliable, left an Anthony Santander three -shot game in the seventh post of Boston’s 7-6 loss 7-6.
Slaten arrived ahead of Guerrero 0-2 in the count. He started his batter with a cutter, and then threw fast four-trajectories. He threw another cutter before going to a curve ball on the seventh pitch. She was below the strike and Guerrero area broke her 404 feet on the left field with an output speed of 111.8 mph.
“It is a situation where you have launched a lot of fast and very good balls, they do not allow you to overcome them with the same pitch several times on a bat-bat,” said Slaten. “We had launched everything on top of the area. Narvy (capture carlos Narváez) called it. I thought it was an absolute absolute call and I have not executed it. You have to drop this terrain and not in a place where it can handle it. It simply did not happen.”
Slaten entered the eighth entrance without having allowed blows and without a walk in eight of his 12 outings. Had not allowed a success in nine of these 12 outings. But he left three times.
Allowed one to Nathan Lukes after moving 0-2 to the count. Allowed a double a bichette bon – A Hit by the right camper Wilda Abreu said he should have caught -After moving forward 1-2 to the count.
“Super frustrating,” said Slaten. “These are nights back where I feel that my things have been as good as they have been in my life. And I just did not execute with two strikes. It’s what it is. And again, very good, it makes a good swing.
“So frustrating, especially in games like this, it is very close. Each land is important and do your job advancing and let it go away from me.”
