TORONTO -- Even the messy ones have a winner and a loser, and by the time the Blue Jays board their flight to Baltimore this evening, all they’ll remember from this one is a series win. Wednesday’s 2-1 win was defined more by the Marlins’ extreme aggression on the bases,

TORONTO -- We just saw the swing the Blue Jays dreamed of when they traded for Jesús Sánchez in Spring Training. His first career grand slam in Toronto's 8-1 win over Miami at Rogers Centre was everything that’s special about Sánchez, everything the Blue Jays have been waiting to see

TORONTO -- When’s the last time you could watch a Blue Jays win while breathing easily through the late innings? Jesús Sánchez launched his first career grand slam, an exclamation point on a six-run sixth inning for the Blue Jays in an 8-1 win over the Marlins at Rogers Centre.

TORONTO -- The box score tells you some of the story, but not all of it. The Blue Jays had so many chances to turn Monday night’s 8-2 loss to the Marlins into a completely different outcome. But a combination of poor situational hitting and uncharacteristically ugly defense tilted this

TORONTO -- The Blue Jays placed star right-hander Dylan Cease on the 15-day IL with a left hamstring strain on Monday, yet another injury in a season that’s been defined by them. Cease left his start Sunday against the Pirates with mild left hamstring discomfort. It looked like Cease initially

TORONTO -- The Blue Jays optioned Davis Schneider to Triple-A Buffalo on Monday, making room for the return of Nathan Lukes (hamstring) from the 10-day IL. This decision had been looming for the past couple of weeks, and the Blue Jays will be facing another one soon as Addison Barger

TORONTO -- Hitting is hard enough. When you’re facing Paul Skenes, it’s downright unfair. The Blue Jays knew they needed to be realistic Saturday when Skenes, possibly the best pitcher on the planet, made his start for the Pirates. This was not a time to dream big, it was a

TORONTO -- We all expected to see a dominant pitching performance on Saturday in Toronto, we just thought it would be the other guy. In the upset of the season, Patrick Corbin outdueled Paul Skenes in the 5-2 win. Remember, the lesson of the tortoise and the hare is that
