| There's something wrong: with his butt. |
Had I been asked to set the over/under on how many 1-0 games the Toronto Blue Jays would win, or even be involved in, throughout the entirety of the 2021 Major League Baseball season, I would have without pause set it at zero, and then when you patiently explained to me that this is not at all how this works, I would have said zero once more, but this time with emphasis, like zero. And yet here we are! The Blue Jays were getting no-hit until all of a sudden they weren't: singles from Semien, Gurriel, and Santiago Espinal (alright!) and there you go, there's the only run it turned out we needed. Hyun-Jin Ryu was dealing, but dealt no further than the fourth, as he suffered what has since been characterized as a "minor right glute strain" but to refer to anything involving Hyun-Jin Ryu's considerable glute as "minor" is in my view not only inaccurate but dangerously trivializing. Ryu himself has said he doesn't even consider this an injury, but just, like, a thing, and he shouldn't miss any time at all. Here's hoping! The bullpen went Mayza, Chatwood, Borucki, Phelps, and Dolis, and the only hits were a pair off Mayza, and the only walk came from Phelps. The bullpen continues to be just terrific, and the Blue Jays have won a series in Tampa! This does not happen often! Up next: some interleague, which should bring some interesting guys around. But not until Tuesday. Rest up till then!
