TORONTO -- With Roberto Osuna taking the mound, the Blue Jays could've left their seven other position players -- aside from the catcher -- on the bench in the ninth. It wouldn't have made any difference.
The 20-year-old closer came into the game and struck out the side on 12 pitches to lock down Toronto's 5-3 win over Detroit at Rogers Centre in the series opener Friday night. It was an electric performance from the game's youngest player, who has proven unshakable in a pressure-packed role that few pitchers his age would be able to handle.
