"First team to 70 wins in the AL, the Blue Jays continue to get contributions from everyone throughout. They're using their full 26 guys. The manager in me loves this, because John Schneider has so many weapons that he can go to. Every night it's a different guy making important contributions.
Shane Bieber pitched in his final rehab start Friday night, and the Toronto Blue Jays are extremely excited about his return to the mound in the coming days.
It was the first swiped bag in a six-year, 532-game career for a catcher with one of the lowest average sprint speeds in baseball.
Toronto’s bullpen had to come through when the Cubs threatened in the eighth inning. Brendon Little worked around a wild pitch to record back-to-back strikeouts before Seranthony Dominquez, who can be too wild, retired the final out on a strikeout.
As for the Jays team Bieber will soon join, they're presently on pace for 95 wins, and they're atop the AL East standings by five games over the Red Sox. Toronto also narrowly leads the chase for the top seed in the AL playoff bracket over the Tigers .
