TORONTO — If Dellin Betances has to live with a fastball in the 92-94 mph range instead of nearing triple-digits, he will accept it and move on to other avenues to get hitters out.
In Betances’ first big-league appearance since last October, the alternate routes were pretty good against the two Blue Jays batters he faced in Sunday’s 6-4 loss at Rogers Centre.
Betances entered in the fourth and struck out Reese McGuire looking at a 94 mph fastball and Brandon Drury looking at an 84 mph breaking ball that locked the former Yankee’s knees.
