| Vladdy went first to third on a single and came in H O T |
Are we possibly a juggernaut now? It might be too soon to declare it, but consider the evidence: José Berríos allowed just two runs over six-and-two-thirds, at which point he was ably relieved by Anthony Bass, elite eighth-inning setup man Yusei Kikuchi, and finally Jordon Romano (ten pitches, nine strikes). And the boys truly bopped: a five-for-five night for George Springer, a three-run homer (the narrowest right-field squeaker, the Yankee Stadiumest home run possible) from Vladdy, and just all kind of great stuff (doubles from Chapman, Téo, and Alejandro Kirk) up and down the lineup. What a blast! The Blue Jays head into the weekend, now, a game behind Seattle for the top WC spot, and a game-and-a-half ahead of the Twins, the non-playoff team (at present) with the best record (at present). It goes without saying that this win draws us one game nearer to the Yankees, who sit but nine games ahead of the Blue Jays with forty-five left to play. You never know! Here's Alykhan Khamisa Ravjiani's picture of Vladdy signing a baby!
