Blue Jays’ Berrios allows five earned runs in start for Puerto Rico at WBC

Toronto Blue Jays beginning pitcher Jose Berrios allowed six runs — 5 earned — in simply over an inning of labor in Puerto Rico’s 9-6 loss to Venezuela on the World Baseball Classic Sunday.

Berrios allowed a three-run residence run to Baltimore Orioles slugger Anthony Santander as a part of a four-run first for Venezuela, which included lead-off hitter Jose Altuve coming round to attain after reaching on an error. He was then lifted from the sport after Altuve hit a double and Luis Arraez adopted that up with a single to start out the second. Reliever Fernando Cruz changed Berrios and gave up a three-run residence run to Salvador Perez that scored Altuve and Arraez.

The closing line for the 28-year-old right-hander was 5 hits, six runs (5 earned) with one stroll and two strikeouts on 38 pitches.

Berrios is trying to have a bounce-back season with the Blue Jays after he struggled with consistency in 2022 and posted a 5.23 ERA with a league-leading 199 hits allowed. During the winter, the Blue Jays and Berrios analyzed his points managing the strike zone and developed a plan to ship extra high quality pitches this season.

“It was more physical. It was more mechanical,” Blue Jays pitching coach Pete Walker instructed Sportsnet’s Shi Davidi earlier in spring coaching. “He kind of lost the feel for certain pitches based on that and we wanted to restructure and make sure the mechanics were in order. Then there is the part where you want to get back to locating pitches in the right spots, in the right counts, and really having an approach that we’re going to stick to. I feel like that’s where we are right now.”

To that finish, the Blue Jays are usually not involved by Berrios’ begin on the WBC on Sunday.

“I thought everything that he was working on here he was doing there,” Blue Jays supervisor John Schneider mentioned Monday. “You got to kind of take it for what it is, I think everything is kinda magnified a little bit in that WBC environment but he’ll have a better one next time out for sure.”

Berrios made two spring coaching begins for the Blue Jays earlier than departing for the WBC, each towards the Phillies: A two-inning scoreless outing on Feb. 28 and a three-inning look on March 5 through which he allowed two runs on 5 hits. In each spring begins, he had two strikeouts.
