Summary
The Blue Jays bounced back in a big way, shutting out the Royals 3-0 and snapping Kansas City’s nine-game winning streak. Toronto is now 65-69 and three games back of the final Wild Card spot with the playoff race tightening. On game 135 preview of Flight Deck, Nick Paleolog breaks down Nathan Lukes’ go-ahead three-run homer and Toronto’s impressive six-hit shutout from seven different pitchers, including Chad Dallas earning his first MLB win and Louis Varland locking down a four-out save. We’ll also discuss the latest CBA proposals, Eugenio Suárez clearing waivers, the Blue Jays signing Michael Lorenzen, and what Toronto’s pitching staff needs with the bullpen being pushed to its limits. With another tough matchup against Noah Cameron ahead, can the Jays win the series and keep their Wild Card hopes alive? We finish with Nick’s picks presented by bet365.
