Great team effort by the pen to keep that game in reach and then making it winnable.

You under no circumstances can go to Romano tomorrow. You can tell he's running out of gas between the stressful save yesterday and tonight. Give the ball to Garcia or even Cimber.

So glad Romano went with the heater to blow away the rookie. Hitter in his first ever major league at bat, challenge/dare that kid to hit a high 90s major league fastball.
 
Hopefully Manoah can go deep or we blow the Astros out to give Romano some rest.

Kudos to some unsung heroes in Stripling, Thornton, Mayza, Tapia, Espinal and Zimmer.

Well done!

Espinal played a big role today. He saved multiple runs defensively in that inning when the Astros only scored 3 when they could've scored 5, 6, 7 runs or even more. He then hit his first homer of the year in what was perhaps the most unexpected B2B home runs in recent Jays memory to get them back in the game.

With all due respect to Cavan, Espinal is just the better player right now and rightfully so, he's slowly but surely becoming their main second basemen

If we want to go from 90 to 100 wins, we are going to have much more save opportunities. Hope we can get another power arm at the back end of the pen to help Romano on nights he is tired as I see Cimber, Garcia, Mayza etc better for the 7th and 8th. Maybe Garcia can close some games when Romano is tired but who would say no to another back of the pen arm.

excellent win in a game started by Verlander

Definitely the most unexpected win of the season so far. It was essentially Stripling/Thornton vs future HOFer Justin Verlander.

In the game, there was no Springer, no Teo, down 3-0 early, JV dealing, and on the road. This win was sort of a steal, and with Manoah going tomorrow, this is great chance for them to win the series

Defence was excellent.

It's been pitching and defense for the Jays so far that's been winning them games as their offence hasn't been great tbh. Very poor AVG with RISP, many hitters have not been playing to their abilities, and some injuries have happened too. Hopefully the Jays' offence can take some of the burden off the pitching

The fact that they're 9W-5L so far says a lot about this team's potential

I think he’ll be better than Ryu. Ryu I think is done, unfortunately. He’s just hit that age wall.

Jays were smart not to give him a long term deal and we got 1.5 good years out of him. Pretty good.

Ryu has become like Dickey. Either 6 scoreless or shelled in 2 innings. Much better chance with Stripling who will give the Jays 5 innings with around 2-3 runs.

I’m not even sure he can give you the occasional 6 scoreless anymore.
