Blue Jays offence stymied by Justin Verlander

I had the opportunity of making the trek down to the Rogers Centre for the Blue Jays afternoon affair in the series finale versus the Houston Astros. While I anticipated the upstart offence would be in tough versus Justin Verlander, I did not envision what unfolded before my eyes.

Verlander was on point from the get-go overpowering Blue Jays hitters with a fastball that hovered in the 93 MPH range for most the afternoon. The hurler mixed in his secondary stuff when the need arose but it was his fastball that crippled the Jays offence.
