It will be important for this team to not let themselves get discouraged and this past weekend’s series against Baltimore shows that they are capable of turning things quickly. While their lineup has also been a problem for the Blue Jays this season, Toronto has the most dangerous hitters in MLB right now. There is no debating what the strength of this Rays team and that’s pitching. They are 5-8 against the top team in the AL East and many of those games could have gone in a different direction is a few things went their way. If there is one team that has been the Blue Jays kryptonite for years, it’s the Tampa Bay Rays. Can the Toronto Blue Jays finally find success against the Tampa Bay Rays? Then came the telling stretch against the Oakland Athletics and New York Yankees that catapulted Toronto into the conversation for the second wild card spot. To think this team was well out of a playoff position just a few weeks ago and fans were thinking about how this could be a wasted season given some of the incredible performances there have been. It’s been interesting to have gone through it, to understand it myself, and now watch guys like Bo (Bichette) and Vladdy (Guerrero Jr.) understand it’s only May, it’s only June, I’m going to have, health-willing, another 300, 400 at-bats.” You have to understand in a good year, you’re going to have 600-plus at bats and you can’t really dwell on everything. “Guys are looking at their average, or OPS or ERA, think they’re not having a good year and then they try to press, they chase hits.

Then the Blue Jays bats decided to have a hit parade winning the next three games by a combined score of 44-19.

Unfortunately for the Tigers, their offense completely failed the young pitchers, not scoring any runs in regulation, as the Tigers ended up losing 1-0. For that reason, they paired him up with rookie Reese Olson, who was also dominant, as the dynamic duo allowed no runs in nine innings combined. The Tigers are still easing him back and only allowed him to pitch four innings. Skubal made his first start of the 2023 season against the Oakland Athletics on the Fourth of July and has yet to give up a hit this year, as he struck out six batters while allowing zero runs. And if Tarik Skubal is as nasty in his second start as he was in his first, it's certainly possible.
