The starting rotation was supposed to be a strength for the Blue Jays in 2018, but it has been anything but that through two thirds of the calendar. We’ve watched injuries slow down everyone from Marco Estrada, Aaron Sanchez, Marcus Stroman, and Jaime Garcia, and a deadline deal send J.A. Happ to the New York Yankees.
While it’s been a disappointment on the whole, there’s one name who has stood out during his short tenure with the Blue Jays. Ryan Borucki has been the team’s best starter since arriving at the highest level, and Friday night was undoubtedly his best start since joining the big league roster.
