2021 Game Sixty-Two: Blue Jays 7, Red Sox 2

 

There have been really a lot of photos like this so far

I am told, and have no reason to doubt, that this is the first game in which all three of Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Bo Bichette, and Cavan Biggio have hit home runs in the same game. I do not mean to be rude in the least when I say it is self-evident which of those three has been the limiting factor in achieving that feat; I myself have not hit a non-softball home run off of live pitching in well-nigh thirty years. But as great as it was to see Vladdy and Bo (and Semien! and Reese McGuire!) having big days, the recently-returned Cavan Biggio's three-for-four with a double and home run really was the most welcome part of the game, not to diminish how Steven Metz pitched very well into the sixth against a good-hitting Red Sox team, or how nearly everybody out of the bullpen kept it clean (ah, Rafael Dolis: what are we even going to do: you seem so neat, but you work so slow, and, lately, so hittedly . . .). Lots of fun! I was going to say "we'll go for the series win tomorrow!" but upon closer examination this is a four-game series concluding Monday (fine; fine; that sounds fine).
