“It’s hard to breathe, man,” the 25-year-old said before the Jays’ rain-and-hail-delayed second game against the Rockies on Tuesday night. DENVER—Sprinting 180 feet doesn’t usually leave Devon Travis breathless, but on Monday night when the Blue Jays’ 25-year-old second baseman scored from second on Josh Donaldson’s single, he was left gasping for air in the dugout. “Whether it’s the number of reps or the number of minutes our guys are running outside,” Joyner said. Travis, who had never before played at a high altitude, also noticed he was unusually short of breath when taking ground balls before the game. So we just want to get out of here with everybody feeling healthy and having enough energy to go out here and play.”
