It just seemed to get worse as the game went on. Cleveland pitching had Blue Jay batters swinging at air and going down one, two, three. It was all too reminiscent of the September shut down of Jays hitting. Francisco Lindor singled home Rajai Davis in the third inning for the scoring run, and four Cleveland Indians pitchers combined to keep the Toronto Blue Jays quiet in the 2-1 win.
DEVON TRAVIS OUT
Devon Travis has an injury to his right knee which is more serious that he believed. As a result he is out of post season play, the damage being revealed by tests run today in Toronto. The Blue Jays second baseman suffered a new injury in his already-damaged right knee during Friday’s ALCS opener. Justin Smoak has taken his place. The Blue Jays had been hopeful Travis might heal sufficiently to get back in the game. But an MRI done early today shows there is even more serous damage causing the pain Travis complained about. Doctors ordered him out of the game and the team got the news during today’s ALCS second game in Cleveland.
The Blue Jays have hit one ball in the air today.
