Will Wagner did not take kindly to his first career 0-fer.
The young hitting sensation, acquired from the Houston Astros in the Yusei Kikuchi trade, had never gone hitless in a game in which he had an at-bat until flying out as a pinch-hitter for Brian Serven in the seventh inning of Wednesday's I-7 Blue Jays loss to the Cincinnati Reds.
He made up for it Thursday by accomplishing another first in his Il-day-old major-league career.
The 26-year-old came to the plate in the second inning after the Jays took a 1-0 lead on back-to-back doubles by Spencer Horwitz and Alejandro Kirk. He got a 2-and-2 fastball at the bottom of the strike zone and whacked it at 104.6 miles per hour off the bat-right back up the middle for a single that scored Kirk and doubled the Jays' lead.
