The Blue Jays, losers of four in a row at the time, appeared to be bottoming out last Wednesday after a second blown-lead loss to the lowly Angels. Then they suddenly win four in a row, score runs with the same ease that Brad Marchand gets under Leafs players’ skin and return to .500. The Maple Leafs head to Florida leading the Panthers 2-0 and return having flipped from a position of command in the best-of-seven series to a worrisome 2-2.

The Addison Barger magic continued with a line drive home run in the seventh inning, his first of the season. Barger was the most prolific batter in the Mariners series, with three doubles in a 6-4 win on Friday. Barger's home run came with such a mighty swat that it knocked the batting helmet off his head. In his team's four-game winning streak, Barger had six runs batted in. Barger's five hits in the Mariners series all left the bat at over 107 miles per hour.

Six weeks later, the Jays infielder is getting the chance to remain on the Canadian side of the Ontario/New York border. Barger banged out three doubles on Friday night — the first three-hit game of his big league career — helping his team to just enough offence to record an at-times tense 6-3 win over the Mariners in the first of a three-game weekend series in Seattle.

RT @TheTorontoSun: Will surging offence be enough to power Blue Jays through roller-coaster season? From @longleysunsport https://t.co/rGNT…
Chandler Simpson double and a Brandon Lowe single follow and the Rays jump out to a 2-0 lead.
And like those fans have seen many times, Jansen hit by a pitch and takes first to lead off the second.

Nice applause for Danny Jansen as he heads to the plate for his first at-bat. A well-deserved fan favourite during his #Bluejays years.
