2023 Game Ninety-Two: Blue Jays 7, Diamondbacks 2

 

what like that's hard?

After winning the All-Star Home Run Derby in sikk fashion (tended to throughout by the friendful caretaking of Bo Bichette, and aided by a crucial late video chat with Teoscar Hernandez [Téo!]), Vladdy elected to homer in his first at bat of the second half. I am told that this is the first time that anyone has done just that (homered in their first AB after winning the derby), which is surprising, given how cool of a thing it seems to do? It was just one of several excellent Blue Jays ideas on this night. The Diamondbacks are a surprisingly good and fun team this season, and it was nice to see the returning Lourdes Gurriel Jr. receive such a warm welcome (I don't even mind that Gabriel Moreno threw a guy out and homered [and he never homers]). Lots of fun all around!
