"Hoffman allowed a single, single, walk, then a grand slam, which made it 6-2 Diamondbacks. It was the second rough appearance in a row by Hoffman."
"Up until that point, the 33-year-old had been on a roll and is still striking out 41.7% of batters faced. However, this week, Hoffman has been nickel-and-dimed to death with a parade of soft singles."
"Hoffman is the least of the Blue Jays' concerns at the moment; their lifeless offense is the much greater cause for worry."
"The Blue Jays had 11 (!!!) singles in a game and never felt like victory was within their grasp."
The Toronto Blue Jays have lost 12 of their last 15 games, highlighted by a 6-2 defeat to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Jeff Hoffman, the closer, faced criticism after giving up a go-ahead grand slam in the eighth inning. Despite Hoffman's previous strong performance, his last two outings have been poor. The team's offense is a significant concern, as evidenced by their inability to convert 11 singles into runs during the game against the Diamondbacks.
