2021 Game One-Hundred-Three: Cleveland 5, Toronto 2 (F/10)

 

Go Guards?

Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s two-run homer to tie it in the sixth was great fun in and of itself, but it also spared us an appearance by Rafael Dolis who, as we have discussed previously in these electronic pages, simply takes too long to pitch. Dolis, who had been up, sat down, and in his stead we saw The New Guys: Cimber and Soria, who were great, and then, after Romano (who was great, but who is not new), Brad Hand, who gave up three runs in the tenth. Oops! It is a drag to have wasted a Robbie Ray start Of Quality, but the teams ahead of the Blue Jays in both the AL East and Wild Card standings either lost of didn't play, for the most part, so very little real harm done.
