When Vladdy came up in the seventh with the Blue Jays down 1-0, talk on the couch quickly turned to how great it would be if Vladdy got a hold of one. And then he did! And what a one, and how a hold: four-hundred-fifty feet or so to the second deck in left field to tie it. Neat! But the Blue Jays got the go-ahead run to second base in the eighth, and the winning run to third base in the ninth, only to leave those guys very much where they stood as those innings ended (poorly). It is regrettable that the struggling Tim Mayza allowed a home run on the first pitch he through in the tenth, and that things unraveled from there, wasting another really good Yusei Kikuchi start (I love how they play a Lisa Loeb "You say . . ." drop after strikeouts!). The series win was pleasant, certainly, but one could not help but yearn for the deeper pleasantness of a sweep. The Rockies are in for the weekend, and it seems they have not been great, possibly? So maybe this time?
