Miami MarlinsvsToronto Blue Jays
MIA 1/TOR 8
Things to say
Toronto Blue Jays beat the Miami Marlins 8-1 at Rogers Centre.
01
opener
Jays rolled the Marlins 8-1 last night. Toronto just teed off at home. Miami never had a chance to climb back in.
02
key player
Whoever was throwing for Toronto got into his stuff early and basically choked off the heart of Miami's order.
03
hot take
Marlins are sneaky bad. Their record says .500ish but they get beat like this way too often.
04
deep cut
Miami's manager went to the pen too early and it just blew the doors off, one of those innings where it's 2-1 and then suddenly it's 7-1.
05
exit
Anyway, we'll see if the Jays can stack a couple before they hit the road again.
The recap
Blue Jays absolutely steamrolled the Marlins 8-1 at the Rogers Centre, and honestly it wasn't even that close. Toronto's bats woke up early and never let Miami breathe, while the Jays' starter clearly got into his stuff and kept the heart of the Marlins order quiet all night.
Miami's lone run felt more like a courtesy than a comeback, and you could tell the manager was just trying to get to the pen without burning anyone for tomorrow. Classic getaway-day beatdown — Toronto needed this one to claw back toward .500.
