The Toronto Blue Jays are going to be a challenge all season, and this first matchup certainly did not go in New York’s favor. While Jameson Taillon looked sharp and healthy in his first start, the hitters looked helpless against Alek Manoah and most of the relievers who followed him. They only notched four hits on Monday night and never really threatened, losing by a 3-0 score.
Taillon had a solid top of the first, even though he allowed a leadoff single to George Springer. Bo Bichette struck out on a caught foul tip, then Taillon induced the ultra-dangerous Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
