Gradey Dick, Jonathan Mogbo remain out for Raptors’ Summer League game vs. Heat
Gradey Dick and Jonathan Mogbo will miss their second straight Summer League game on Friday as the Toronto Raptors take on the Miami Heat.
TORONTO — Friday night marked the Toronto Blue Jays’ first game back from the all-star break and if you’re a romantic, you could probably trick yourself into thinking it represented something akin to a fresh start for the club.
Four days off following a disastrous first half to the season would offer a nice reset, right? A chance to wipe the slate and come back with a renewed spirit? Maybe the Blue Jays would look somewhat different from their last game at Rogers Centre over two weeks ago.
Well, there was a little romance to be found on the field during what was a beautiful Friday night in Toronto. However, the end result remained the same.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and George Springer invigorated the crowd with their respective two-run home runs, but the Blue Jays ultimately fell 5-4 to the Detroit Tigers in front of 39,697.
There were points early on Friday night where the home fans were clamouring for something to cheer about and Guerrero Jr. delivered in the sixth inning. The Blue Jays were down 3-0 with Tigers ace Jack Flaherty in the midst of twirling a gem. The right-hander carried a no-hitter into the fifth, but with one on in the sixth, Guerrero Jr. launched a missile into the facing of the second deck for a two-run home run that cut the score to 3-2.

The blast, Guerrero Jr.’s 15th of the season, left his bat at a whopping 117.5 m.p.h. It was the result of an impressive nine-pitch battle between Flaherty and the Blue Jays’ lone all-star, with Guerrero Jr. fouling off three straight four-seamers at one point.
Springer elicited similar roars from the crowd with his two-run shot off Tigers reliever Beau Brieske in the eighth but ultimately it wasn’t enough as the Tigers pitching staff stifled the rest of the Blue Jays lineup.
Flaherty, a free agent at the end of the season, is a candidate to be traded ahead of the July 30 deadline. He allowed two runs and struck out eight over 5.2 frames while facing Blue Jays starter Chris Bassitt, who has one-year remaining on his contract. The matchup between the right-handers undoubtedly meant that scouts across the league would have interest in Friday’s game.
Bassitt wasn’t as impressive as his counterpart, though. The Tigers opened the scoring in the fourth inning when Matt Vierling doubled and was driven home by Riley Greene’s single to right field. Mark Canha followed that by depositing a 1-1 changeup from Bassitt over the left field fence for a two-run home run that put the Tigers up 3-0.

Wenceel Perez added a two-run homer off the Blue Jays starter in the seventh inning to chase him from the game. In total, Bassitt allowed five runs on seven hits over 6.2 innings, walking one and striking out six.
Adding to the misery for the Blue Jays was that shortstop Bo Bichette was removed from the game after limping out of the batter’s box in the sixth inning. The Blue Jays announced he suffered a right calf strain and it’s an injury that’s been troublesome for Bichette this season. He spent 10 days on the IL in June with a right calf issue and was removed from last Wednesday’s game with right calf soreness before missing the club’s remaining four games before the all-star break.
