last night's win

Right in the middle for a reason. Won by 3 last night and the score reflects it. On the other hand, a 11-man IL is starting to matter.

Blue Jays News

The Toronto Blue Jays kicked off their series against the Los Angeles Angels with a much-needed 5-2 victory, showcasing a solid performance from Dylan Cease, who was effectively wild on the mound. The bullpen stepped up, and while the offense wasn't explosive, they capitalized on crucial moments,a stark contrast to their recent struggles. This win comes after a disappointing road trip that saw them lose six straight series, leaving fans wary of their prospects. Adding to the uncertainty, injuries continue to plague the roster, with Nathan Lukes battling vertigo symptoms. As they navigate this challenging start to the season, the Blue Jays will need to maintain this newfound momentum to climb out of the bottom of the division and establish their presence in a competitive American League.

Losing their sixth straight series was never the plan, but it was the reality the 2026 Blue Jays had to face after losing two straight games to the Arizona Diamondbacks. They were never supposed to be here, even this early in the season, nor were they expected to occupy the bottom of their own division….

This road trip hasn’t been great for the Toronto Blue Jays, but there’s still a way to salvage it. The Blue Jays’ final stop on this nine-day road trip is in Anaheim, taking on the Los Angeles Angels. So far, they’ve dropped two of three in both series they’ve played, one series to the Milwaukee…
