2023 Game Sixty-Four: Blue Jays 3, Astros 2

 

he picked a runner off an inning later, too; he is just a neat guy

There is no shame in allowing a two-run home run to Alex Bregman, and that was the only real problem José Berrios encountered in six innings befitting La Makina. What a pleasure to have Berrios rolling again this season! He is an easy guy to cheer for, I have found. I followed the Blue Jays three-run fifth—walks to Varsho, Springer, and Vladdy; runs cashed in by Chapman's ground-out, Alejandro Kirk's game-tying ground-rule double, and Belt's go-ahead single (Kirk slid into a tag at the plate to end the inning)—on the radio, and man, Ben Wagner was fired up and I liked it. Three out of four from the Astros! A good team! The Blue Jays have now gone ten-and-three ever since they stopped going two-for-nine, which was a really good call on their part. Next up, the Twins, against whom we played well recently, and who a quick glance at the standings reveals to be a sub-five-hundred division leader (those are rare!). I would like to thing we would take two of three? Kikuchi tonight, bullpen day tomorrow, Gausman up again Sunday . . . yes, I think two of three would be great. Let's try that.
