The Blue Jays opened their 2019 season with an extra-innings loss to the Detroit Tigers, unfortunately spoiling a pretty fantastic performance from Marcus Stroman, and some quality bullpen work from Joe Biagini and Ken Giles.
Several new Blue Jays were in the dugout and in the lineup for game one of a new season, but one name was curiously absent, especially because of the reports we heard the night before. I’m not talking about Kendrys Morales either, who was traded to Oakland on the eve of the season’s first game.
