The Toronto Blue Jays opened up the 2021 regular season with an impressive 3-2 win over the New York Yankees back on April 1st. What stood out from that victory was how rock solid the team performed defensively, and also their ability to deliver in the key moments of the game.
Marcus Semien saved a run with a beautiful diving stop to end the fifth, then in the bottom of the ninth Cavan Biggio gunned down the would be winning run at home plate before Jordan Romano struck out Aaron Judge to escape the jam.
