The Blue Jays are playing some better baseball, as they took two out of three from the Yankees, and then did the same with the Pittsburgh Pirates. They’ll take on the Tampa Bay Rays in a surprisingly important series for both clubs, and hope to keep the positive momentum rolling.
And speaking of positives, John Gibbons celebrated a milestone on Sunday with his 700th win as the manager of the Blue Jays. The 2-time Jays’ coach probably hoped to reach the mark sooner in 2017, but with their 56th win in 2017, Gibbons is the second manager in Toronto’s history to reach that plateau.
