The Blue Jays got help from everyone last night. Players like Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Davis Schneider were at the top of their game, notching hits and supporting Berrios throughout his run. It was a phenomenal performance in front of the Toronto crowd. It was also an important one given the fact that the Blue Jays had lost two straight games to the New York Yankees. Now, they are back in the win column and have improved their record to 5-6.
Tonight, the Blue Jays will have yet another chance at the Seattle Mariners. The game is going to be played at 7 PM Eastern Standard Time.
