| Vladdy: is unhurried |
Home runs from Vladdy (of course), Springer (sure makes sense), and Raimel Tapia (well okay!) were all that was needed and then some as Alek Manoah cruised through six two-hit, shutout innings, and who else but our good friend Yusei Kikuchi turned up to pitch a scoreless three innings of relief (and was awarded a save in one of those special "scorer's discretion" instances). Depending on which measures you prefer, Alek Manoah may have just pitched the best single month in Blue Jays history to cap off one of the best seasons ever by a pitcher his age (the last pitcher to be this good this young may have been Doc Gooden), and Bo Bichette's two hits on the day pulled him ahead of both Tony Fernandez and "The Shaker" Lloyd Moseby for the most hits by a Blue Jay in a single month. How fortuitous that the month in question is September! Five games to go and everything very much in our hands. Four wins would almost certainly do it, and three would probably be enough? Right?
