Blue Jays manager John Schneider shared his honest take on what happened to the reigning American League champions in the Mariners series.
"We got bullied out of here by fastballs the last couple games," Schneider said following the loss on Sunday, via Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.
In Sunday's game, the Blue Jays went 3-for-29 with two walks and six strikeouts. They were also 0-for-2 in the contest with runners in scoring position. The lack of offense put tremendous pressure on starter Trey Yesavage , who allowed just two earned runs on three hits with two walks and seven strikeouts through six innings. Meanwhile, his counterpart, Emerson Hancock , pitched seven scoreless innings with two walks and five strikeouts.

Toronto has to find its offense sooner rather than later to give the team some momentum heading into the All-Star break . Over the last seven days (six games), the Blue Jays have hit just .174/.239/.255 while posting a .494 OPS — the worst in the big leagues overall over the same span.
With a 42-48 record, the Blue Jays will next play the San Francisco 49ers in a three-game series at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California, that begins on Monday.
