“A lot.”Opening-day starter Marcus Stroman did his part for the Blue Jays — seven shutout innings and seven strikeouts against the Tigers. (Trivia factoid: May 2, 1917, Fred Toney of the Reds beat Hippo Vaughn of the Cubs 1-0 in 10 innings.) But the Toronto hitters took their over-aggressive hacks, free swinging and impatient at the plate, if also befuddled by the in-and-out Zimmermann stuff. But it kind of lets you know that it’s game day and I love it. “I liked my chances when I went out there,’’ said Hudson, who’d never even met Jansen until their workout day Wednesday.
