Plenty of chances for Toronto, but I was mostly disappointed in George Springer. 6th inning man on second no outs, one run in during what will no doubt be a close game. He absolutely needs to move the runner over. An 0-1 pitch straight on the outside corner and he just needs to poke it to the right side. Instead he takes strike two and then whiffs. Next guy drives the ball to deep center, where a man on 3rd would have scored easily.
In 8th, man on second one out and Springer whiffs again. I know he had hits early, but for a team lauded for knowing the game and scoring in a variety of ways, its veteran "leader" Springer went up there looking for the HR ball when it wasn't needed. Twice. A dang shame.
