Spring Swoon: Jays extend losing skid to seven games with 6-4 loss to Orioles
TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays rolled out a new brand campaign this season built around the hashtag ‘LetsRise.’
The club’s marketing team sees it as a rallying cry for a squad with aspirations of returning to the post-season. The omnipresent hashtags at Rogers Centre are serving as a reminder there’s nowhere to go but up for a team off to the worst start in its history.
A 6-4 defeat to the Baltimore Orioles on Friday night extended Toronto’s losing skid to seven games and left the Blue Jays with a woeful 1-9 record.
“You’ve just got to keep grinding through it,” said Toronto first baseman Justin Smoak. “It’ll turn.”
