2021 Game Thirty-One: Astros 10, Blue Jays 4

 

It is the wrong Gurriel, though.

 
Okay, a bad start by Stripling and not a lot of help from the bullpen, and yet nevertheless there were things to like here: home runs from Bo Bichette, Teoscar Hernandez, and, weirdly enough, Danny Jansen for the second day in a row. Towering above all of those likeable things in sheer likeability though was Lourdes Gurriel Jr.'s backfooted-throw from left to nail Myles Straw at the plate on what should have been a fairly ordinary sacrifice fly, or at least a plausible one. If you have not seen it, I invite you to enjoy it here.
