## Resource

The Blue Jays nearly battled back from a 7-1 deficit but ultimately fell 7-6 to the Tampa Bay Rays, keeping Toronto just 1.0 game back of the final Wild Card spot. On game 129 preview of Flight Deck, Tyler Yaremchuk breaks down Max Scherzer’s rough outing, Jesus Sanchez’s costly defensive struggles, and how the Blue Jays nearly pulled off an incredible comeback against one of the AL’s best teams. Tyler will also discuss Charles McAdoo’s continued impact, Alejandro Kirk’s solo home run, Toronto’s scoreless bullpen effort, Brett Bateman’s hamstring injury, and Shane Bieber’s recent stretch of solid starts. With the Jays still firmly in the Wild Card race, can they bounce back and take the series from Tampa Bay? We finish with Tyler’s picks presented by bet365.
