A Solid Start for the Blue Jays
Hey Blue Jays fans! What a fantastic game! Our boys came out to play and didn't disappoint. Starting strong in the second inning, Andres Gimenez got the ball rolling with a solo homer to right field, and that was just the beginning of an exciting game!
Building the Lead
The third inning saw Alan Roden doubling to right, setting the stage for Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to double and bring Roden home. Another run in the fourth with Alejandro Kirk hitting a double that sent Gimenez home, and Nathan Lukes grounding into a fielder's choice which brought home Kirk. By the end of the fourth, we were sitting pretty at 4-0.
Nationals Attempt a Comeback
Washington tried to mount a comeback in the 6th inning with CJ Abrams and James Wood going back-to-back with homers, but that hardly shook our boys. We kept the lead with a score of 4-2 by the middle of the 6th.
Securing the Victory
In the 8th inning, Gimenez doubled to left and thanks to Kirk and George Springer, who both got singles, we were able to bring him home, bringing the score to a secure 5-2. Our bullpen closed the game efficiently with Sandlin, Little, and finally Garcia shutting the Nationals down in the 9th.
Go Jays!
The Blue Jays' comprehensive win today shows we're in top shape as the season progresses! Let's keep up the incredible work, team! Wooo!
