2021 Game Seventy-Two: Blue Jays 3, Marlins 1

 

frankly I am of the view that
Robbie Ray's gear isn't tight *enough*

Already up 2-0, the Blue Jays loaded the bases in the second, only for Vladdy to line out hard to left to end the inning, and at the time it felt like, I sure hope we don't need those runs later! But no need to worry, as Robbie Ray was terrific through six, and the Mayza-to-Chatwood-to-Romano bullpen allowed just one hit the rest of the way. That's plenty of use for the better relievers in the last few days, but I get it, you got lock these down, and worry about the next day the next day. And hey, on the subject of next days: it's four against the Orioles, and against four starting pitchers who, unlike the two excellent starters the Marlins just threw at us, are having really, really rough times, like I mean four straight abysmal ERAs (an incomplete stat, plainly, and yet a not-entirely-untelling one). Six back in the East, five and a half for the wild card!
