Toronto Blue JaysvsCleveland Guardians
TOR 11/CLE 0
Things to say
The Blue Jays shut out the Guardians 11-0 in Cleveland.
01
opener
Toronto absolutely stomped Cleveland, 11-0. It was over by the middle innings. The Guardians never had a shot.
02
key player
Whoever Toronto ran out on the mound was filthy all night — a full-on shutout, hitters kept getting into his stuff and coming up empty.
03
hot take
Getting no-hit at home like that? Cleveland's bats have been asleep for weeks. That lineup needs a shakeup.
04
deep cut
It was a getaway day and you could tell — Guardians looked flat, and the Jays just kept sending the heart of the order up in front of runners.
05
exit
Anyway, both these teams are hovering around .500, so I'm more curious who's still standing come the last week.
The recap
Toronto came into Progressive Field and turned a getaway day into batting practice, hanging an 11-spot on Cleveland and cruising to a shutout. The Blue Jays worked the count all afternoon, got runners on, and let the heart of the order do the damage while the bats never let up.
Meanwhile the Guardians got nothing going — zero on the board, a lineup that couldn't string anything together against Toronto's staff. When you get blanked 11-0 on your own field, that's just a get-out-of-town loss you flush and move on from.
