2023 Game One-Hundred-Thirty-Six: Rockies 8, Blue Jays 7

The Blue Jays put two across in the ninth, and got the tying run as far as third base, and yet it still felt doomed the whole time? Weird! There was much to overcome on this night, as Yusei Kikuchi was tagged for six runs—though, to be fair, only two were earned (the defense was . . . inexpert). It really would be swell to sweep teams that are as lowly as this year's lowly Rockies, but sweeps are tough; you have to be undisappointed when you are unable to sweep, or else you are going nearly the whole entire season disappointed, and that is way too long of a time to feel that way.
