SEATTLE — Finally, the Toronto Blue Jays got some offence Sunday. A season-high nine runs allowed the Blue Jays to coast to victory instead of stressing over every last out, as has been their norm so far this season. The need for offence was there for all to see, and the benefits are clear, as the team’s top relievers now get two days of rest ahead of their home series with the Tampa Bay Rays.

SEATTLE – This is the kind of game the Blue Jays have been searching for all season. They built an early lead, got big swings from a couple power bats and kept adding insurance runs as the game progressed. It added up to a 9-1 win at T-Mobile Park Sunday, leading to a sweep of the Mariners, a successful 4-2 West Coast road trip and a return to .500, at 20-20.

SEATTLE – Wins aren’t coming easily for the Toronto Blue Jays right now, not even close. But a hard-fought victory still beats most alternatives, even if the pathway there tends to be filled with stress for these 2025 Blue Jays. That was certainly the case Friday, when Yimi Garcia tempted disaster in the eighth before escaping to set up a 6-3 win against the Seattle Mariners in front of 31,564 at T-Mobile Park, thousands of whom were cheering for the visitors.

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Three days in one of baseball's most serene settings against a last-place team. In theory, it’s an ideal opportunity for a struggling team. In practice, the Blue Jays endured two painful losses followed by the kind of win they’ve been seeking for a while. All it took was an eight-run outburst with some lockdown relief pitching and the Blue Jays avoided a sweep. The eight runs matched a season high for the Blue Jays, who won 8-5 to improve to 17-20 on the season.

ANAHEIM, Calif. — In theory, everyone agrees. Struggling to hit homers and taxing the bullpen every night is not the way anyone wants to do things. Manager John Schneider knows it, the Toronto Blue Jays’ hitters know it and the relievers certainly do, too. Yet as their latest game against the Los Angeles Angels showed, understanding the need for change is one thing, and implementing it is another.

A late escape for the Blue Jays. "The feeling was amazing. To get into that situation and get out was unbelievable." https://t.co/7xG74LbySr
Tyler Heineman was distracted by where his bat went, which was why he didn't run out his ninth inning single per manager John Schneider. "He's a magician by trade. We all know that. And he does some he does some things that are a little bit unorthodox."
After hitting three doubles, Addison Barger said his confidence comes from being able to chill. Says it's not easy to chill, but he has learned from trial and error what works. And that is? "Just trying to convince yourself that you don't care that much."
