Toronto right-hander Matt Shoe-
maker had another impressive
spring training start, as the Blue
JaysbeatthePhiladelphiaPhillies
9-0 in Grapefruit League exhibi-
tion baseball action Sunday.
Shoemakerpitchedfourno-hit
innings, striking out four while
giving up just one walk. He has
yet to give up a run this spring af-
ter striking out five and giving up
just one hit in a 2^2 ⁄ 3 -inning start
March 2 against Pittsburgh.
Shoemaker’s 2019 season was
cut short after a promising start
when he tore his left ACL on April
20 in Oakland. The 33-year-old
was 3-0 with a 1.57 earned-run av-
erage before suffering the injury.
Ty Tice, Thomas Pannone, A.J.
Cole, Jordan Romano and Bryan
Baker each pitched an inning in
relief to combine with Shoe-
maker on a two-hit shutout.
Travis Shaw opened the scor-
ing for Toronto with a two-run
homer off Vince Velasquez in the
bottom of the first inning.
Bo Bichette increased Toron-
to’s lead to 3-0 with a solo shot off
Velasquez in the bottom of the
third.
The Jays doubled their lead
with a three-run fourth inning.
Jonathan Davis drove in two runs
with a double and then scored on
a single from Lourdes Gurriel Jr.
Toronto scored three more in
the eighth. Alejandro Kirk hit a
two-run homer and Santiago Es-
pinal scored on a Josh Palacios
ground-out.
The Blue Jays next take on the
Tampa Bay Rays on Monday af-
ternoon.
