Miami MarlinsvsToronto Blue Jays
MIA 8/TOR 2
Things to say
Marlins beat the Blue Jays 8-2 in Toronto.
01
opener
Marlins rolled into the Rogers Centre and just took it to Toronto, 8-2. Fish bats were alive all night. Jays never really had an answer.
02
key player
Miami's lineup did the damage top to bottom — heart of the order kept turning it over and Toronto's starter couldn't get into his stuff.
03
hot take
Jays are 25-29 and it's not bad luck anymore. That's a roster problem.
04
deep cut
Toronto's manager went to the pen way too early and the middle relief just bled runs. Game was over by the seventh.
05
exit
Anyway, we'll see if the Jays can salvage it tomorrow — feels like a getaway day either way.
The recap
Marlins went into Rogers Centre and absolutely thumped Toronto 8-2, which nobody had on their bingo card for a getaway day in late May. Miami's bats got into the Blue Jays starter early and never let off the gas, while the bullpen came in and slammed the door shut.
Toronto only managed two runs and is now sitting at 25-29, with the boo birds starting to come out up north. Marlins quietly climb back to .500 territory and head home feeling like the heart of the order finally woke up.
