Playoff baseball is the time for stars to take their game to the next level, but sometimes trying too hard leads to costly blunders.
Down 2–0 in the fifth inning of Game 2 of their American League Wild Card series, the Blue Jays had runners on second and third with two outs and Bo Bichette up with a chance to tie the game. However, Bichette never got that chance, as Twins pitcher Sonny Gray successfully picked off Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who was leaning too far off of second base.
While Toronto challenged the play, Guerrero was clearly out, and the Blue Jays’ rally ended with their cleanup hitter unable to try and make an impact.
