Maybe it’s the dad strength.
After hitting a walk-off home run on his wife’s first Mother’s Day on Sunday, Gleyber Torres put up all the offense in today’s win over the Blue Jays. A three-run home run and tack-on single buoyed yet another strong outing from the team’s pitching staff, as they took Wednesday’s game 5-3.
Jameson Taillon was finally hit a bit by the Blue Jays, who he had masterfully handled in two previous starts. His final line — 5.1 IP, 6H, 2 ER, 4:1 K:BB — actually raised his ERA on the season, but it’s still a more than respectable 2.
