Mike Wilner: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. gives Blue Jays a win with one swing — and maybe ends his slump in the process
Mired in an ugly slump that had seen him hit just .206 since leaving a game against the Yankees with a knee injury on May 16,came to the plate with George Springer on second base and two out in a tie game in the top of the ninth inning in Queens, N.Y., Saturday.
“All f---ing day!” the manager repeated, followed up by “you’re dogs--- for us, you’re dogs--- for them,” among other equally unprintable things. Robertson, a 15-year veteran with 167 saves to his name, didn’t try another cutter. He threw a knuckle curve that started at the bottom part of the strike zone and then fell right off the table.the inning before with runners on second and third and two out, and it got the Jays catcher to swing and miss — the first time he had struck out in 40 plate appearances.
Erik Swanson, pressed into closing duty to avoid having Jordan Romano pitch on a third straight day, closed out the 2-1 win for his seventh career save and first as a Blue Jay. and his OPS currently sits at .803 — though, to be fair, it was .901 when the knee injury knocked him off-kilter.
