last night's win

Some of this, some of that. The 5-run win last night carries weight here. Working against that, a 14-man IL is starting to matter.

Blue Jays News

The Toronto Blue Jays clawed their way to a much-needed 7-2 victory over the Texas Rangers, snapping a disappointing losing streak and improving their record to 77-79. However, the win was bittersweet as Vladimir Guerrero Jr. left the game early with lower back stiffness, raising concerns about his health as the Jays chase a Wild Card spot. Adding to the tension, Dylan Cease was scratched from his next start and headed for an MRI on his shoulder, potentially sidelining one of their key arms. Despite these setbacks, the bullpen performed admirably to secure the win against the reigning World Series champions, but the overall momentum hinges on the health of their stars. With just a handful of games left, this rollercoaster of a season remains a test of resilience for the Jays.
