Is he though? He was an "all-star" in the shortened season last year and arguably their coldest hitter in their world series run. He's been crap this year. And all logic should go out the window when playing the Rays as that's how they get you. That is the 3rd IB issued to Lowe this series where the next guy has gotten a hit. At some point you just got to pitch to the guy. He's not Trout.
The Jays bats putting up 1 run is an issue but if you're going to compete you need to find a way to win these 1 run games against the Rays. Plain and simple.
Edit. Correction he was an "all-star" in 2019 before despite only playing 82 games.
