The Toronto Blue Jays were in total control with a 5-1 lead against the Washington Nationals on Sunday. After Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s grand slam, it seemed to signal a turning point for the struggling offense. However, their hopes were gone in a blink of an eye as the bullpen failed to keep the nationals offence at bay.
The Blue Jays now have 16 wins and 19 losses, which puts them at the very bottom of the unforgiving American League East division. They are far out of the playoff picture at this point, but they have the ability to climb back up to the Wild Card contention if the remaining 127 games go the Blue Jays' way.
While Toronto's roster has its flaws, there's potential for positive improvement ahead. However, this turnaround isn't assured, and there's a possibility the team could face further decline. The Blue Jays need their offense, defense, and pitching to sync up and perform consistently if they hope to break their downward trend.
