Their first game back in Toronto following a trying 1-6 road trip was far from perfect. There were missed opportunities at the plate and avoidable errors in the field. But on a night some Canadian baseball history was made in Toronto, Jose Berrios delivered one of his best starts of the season and the bullpen preserved a one-run lead over the final three innings to deliver a much-needed 4-3 win.
As the Blue Jays considered whether to challenge the call, Guerrero Jr. gestured to the dugout, seemingly indicating that the play wasn’t worth a challenge. Regardless, the Blue Jays challenged and the call was upheld. When the Blue Jays nearly picked off Vierling on the next play, they were unable to challenge as they had just burned theirs. At first base, Guerrero Jr. was visibly frustrated.
On an equally positive note, Jansen returned to the lineup after missing 33 games with a fractured finger. His familiarity with the Blue Jays’ pitching staff will help right away, and his bat shouldn’t be overlooked either given the amount of pull power he’s shown since late last year. In his return, Jansen singled in three trips to the plate.
“It’s great to be home. I love coming back here,” Thomson said. “I love the ballpark, especially when the roof is open … It means a lot. It really does.”
