2023 Game One-Hundred-Nine: Blue Jays 4, Orioles 1

 

readying himself to kikuch to the fullest

One might characterize this win as a gift (the only Blue Jays runs came on a George Springer bloop single [his first in forever] and a total sixth-inning Shintaro Fujinami meltdown), but the greatest gift of all, surely, was another truly solid outing from Yusei Kikuchi, who is now 9-3 with a 3.67 ERA, good for 1.1fWAR thus far. He's well on his way to his best major league season! I do miss his great big yellow glove that looked like a clutch of strong bananas, but in every other respect, 2023 has been a bold step in the right direction.
