On this date, eleven years ago, Edwin Encarnacion showcased his power by hitting three home runs against the Diamondbacks, contributing to a total of six by the team. However, despite this offensive show, the Blue Jays lost 8-6. Brandon Morrow faced a challenging outing, allowing eight hits and six earned runs, with lack of communication among players costing them crucial defensive plays. Travis Snider's injury limited his contributions, affecting the team's momentum early in the season, while Edwin’s performance hinted at the potential fans were yet to fully appreciate.
If you remember the game, you know that the three home runs Edwin hit weren't cheapies. He crushed them. Edwin wasn't loved by Jays' fans back then, but when you saw how far he could hit the ball, you knew there was potential.
We hit six home runs and lost, so you know it wasn't good. On the not so good side: Brandon Morrow had a bad start. 4 innings, 8 hits, 6 earned, 6 k.
It was terrible timing for Travis. He was hitting decent to start the season and was playing every day. He wouldn't be back until the end of July.
Brandon Morrow had a bad start due to lack of communication between Encarnacion and Lewis that allowed a popup that should have been caught to become a 'double'.
