ARLINGTON -- The Blue Jays won their fifth game of the season Friday night, improving their record to 5-3. That marks a much better start than last year, when they started 1-9. The team didn't notch its fifth win until the 18th game of the season.
For sure, there's a positive feel in the Blue Jays' clubhouse in the second week of the season. Manager John Gibbons, a native of San Antonio, fitted in a trip to the Alamo City on the team's off-day on Thursday. Before Friday's series opener, he was relaxed -- almost giddy -- and joking with the media prior to Friday's series opener.
