The Blue Jays just finished up their first series of the season, and while a four game split with the Detroit Tigers doesn’t mean that this team should suddenly have playoff aspirations, there were a lot of encouraging signs.
It begins with the starting rotation of course, after Marcus Stroman, Matt Shoemaker, Aaron Sanchez, and Trent Thornton combined to hold the Tigers scoreless over 24 innings. If not for the hot and cold offence, there’s a good argument that they should have won all four contests based on the way their starters performed.
