You only get one chance to make a first impression and Granderson certainly hopes that truism doesn’t always prove true. 32 forever, the first Yankee batter, Brett Gardner, slashed a line drive towards an already shallow Granderson in left. The opening error might have been lost in the Grandy scheme of things, in the mists of 2018 time. The Jays managed just two hits against Luis Severino and friends, the fewest hits in an opener in franchise history, and they struck out 12 times. More troubling for the Blue Jays than the leadoff error was the shaky game turned in at third base by the team’s most valuable player, Josh Donaldson.
