Blue Jays Set to Unleash Devastating Power Surge—Will History Repeat?

There are a lot of things to like about this series. We have two smaller market teams that have built their team well and signed key pieces when needed. They have also made trades to give them some leverage. As mentioned, in Game 1, the Blue Jays couldn’t get much offense going at all. They had a leadoff homer from George Springer and then essentially nothing else the remainder of the game. In Game 2, they were able to get a few things going, but the pitching fell apart and they allowed the Mariners to hang 10 runs on them. Game 3 was a bit of them flipping the script. They went down early and instead of giving up, they got off the mat and fought back. They accumulated 18 hits and 13 runs last night as they stole the home game from the Mariners. They still have to take another one if they are going to win the series, but it has to feel good to rebound after falling behind. The Mariners got two runs in the first and the two in the eighth, but that was it. The Blue Jays were able to get consistent hitting for the first time in the series with both the longball and regular hits serving them well in the game.
