2022 Game Thirty-Four: Blue Jays 5, Rays 1

 

Hey Téo hey Téo hey Téo: great job, Téo

Okay, phew, okay: home runs from Téoscar Hernandez (we love him) and the returning Danny Jansen (I've got no problem with Danny Jansen) in a four-run eighth, a nifty first-start back for Hyun-Jin Ryu, and just two hits and a walk from the bullpen in its four-and-a-third innings of work (some slick defense did some of the lifting in this regard [as well it should]). A five-game losing streak is exactly where things get concerning, if you are me, and I felt concern, but now on the strength of just one game against the Rays' unstrongest starter, let us say, I am in a state of utter calm, like, hey, have a look at the standings, the Blue Jays have been "in a playoff spot" this whole time, what were we even worried about? A little bump in a road, a couple bad bounces, that's all. Alek Manoah on the hill tomorrow to try and win the series, all systems are go, everybody. All: systems (are go).
