Blue Jays 14, Mets 5: An Abundance of Dingerz

Yan Gomes and Rajai Davis: sluggers of the highest calibre apparently
For a minute there in the first, it looked like Jon Niese was going to work his way out of a pretty sticky situation but then lol nope as J. P. Arencibia ripped one down the line, just fair, for a three-run dinger of the "out of a here in a hurry" variety which I trust you will agree is an awesome kind of them. He added another in the third, and Rajai Davis, of all people, had a pair of two-run shots, and young utility dude Yan Gomes hit the first of his career. Gomes has this awesome stance, front foot slightly open, bat held up high and hell of erect, and he just slashes it through the strike zone man he just slashes it. He looks like a guy who is maybe going to strike out a ton but really lace it every now and then, which, I mean, fine, as it looks super cool and what do I care other than that from a young utility guy with a sick catcher's arm that he deployed a couple of times from third last night. 


I should add that Ricky Romero was a boss, allowing but a run through six. The bullpen was a little shitty after that, but I am not going to mind that right now.
