He even showed his skills in defense. However, their manager  John Schneider, cheered them up, saying, “It’s a big series, yeah, sure, but we’re playing really well…Today is one game. It doesn’t matter if you lose by six or if you lose by one.”

The Blue Jays’ last game had one of the lowest attendances of the season, despite there being no campaigns or protests to avoid it. A fan posted a Twitter post asking about the reason behind it, which finally divided fans into different opinions. Their fan count was 23,451 on Monday. Although it improved a little bit on Wednesday’s game, it was still 25,495. Their series with the Rangers was a hyped series, but finally, fans didn’t show their support for their home team.
