2022 Game One-Hundred-Twenty-Eight: Blue Jays 5, Cubs 3

 

oh hi

Once the returning (and warmly received) Marcus Stroman's fine start was out of the way, the Blue Jays went to town on the Chicago bullpen to a very pleasing extent, just as I had wished for in SMS text messages exchanged with brother-in-law: Vladdy's solo home run to the opposite field in the seventh paired nicely with Téo's similarly opposite-field three-run home run in the sixth, and that's pretty much all that was needed to go with Kevin Gausman's solid outing and some fairly tidy work by the bullpen (only David Phelps struggled a little). Now that the series has been won, there is very little reason, as I see it, not to sweep it, and several very compelling reasons, I hope you will agree, to do so (I need not enumerate them).
