2023 Game Seventy-Nine: Blue Jays 12, Athletics 1

 

form is so crucial

Given the extent to which the boys elected to bop on Sunday—home runs from Springer and Biggio; a bunch of hits from pretty much everybody else—it was not, strictly speaking, necessary for Yusei Kikuchi to allow just one run on two hits over seven complete innings pitched in his best-yet start as a Toronto Blue Jay, but that's totally what he did, though. What a delight it is when Kikuchi is rolling! Everybody loves that guy! He tries so hard! And at the end of action Sunday night, the Blue Jays found themselves in sole possession of a Wild Card spot (WC3! arguably the best one!) for the first time in what feels like kind of a while; perhaps since those really awful two weeks? You remember those? The weeks?
