Marc Topkin's takeaways from Sunday's Rays-Blue Jays game

 
Published May 1, 2017

SS Daniel Robertson had quite a day, making several impressive plays and perfectly executing a safety squeeze. Robertson started ahead of Tim Beckham, who'd erred in three straight games. It'll be interesting to see who starts tonight.

RHP Chris Archer didn't get the just result for his outstanding seven-inning-plus effort, using a well-commanded fastball early and economically then getting the Blue Jays hitters to chase his slider late.

1B Logan Morrison is known for his power, better-than-you-think glove and brash style. But he made a savvy baserunning play tagging up from second when 1B Justin Smoak turned his back to catch a foul pop, setting up the eighth-inning squeeze.
