This afternoon, the Blue Jays took on the Yankees in the Bronx. At stake? The series between the two clubs.
It was an important game, as the Blue Jays didn't want to let the Yankees get within two games of them. Even though they have the tie-breaker against the Bombardiers, every win is important at this point.
But in order to do so, Max Scherzer, who lost the game, would have had to avoid tipping. We're talking here about the act of poorly concealing his throws, which greatly helps the opponent.
The first to benefit was the little bowl of rice. Ben Rice hit a three-run home run in the first.

Although the Blue Jays rallied from a deficit, a fourth run was scored by the Yankees. In a 4-3 setback for the Blue Jays, let's just say it made the difference.
For once, Toronto's offense lacked opportunism and the relief was excellent. #EhBien
Obviously, the fact that the Yankees discovered a flaw in Scherzer's game (he wasn't exactly born yesterday) made the difference in a very crucial game.
And Scherzer knows it. Note that he has no reason to be angry with the Yankees, since it's obviously legal to use your eyes to try to determine which pitch is coming.

The Blue Jays know the Yankees are good at this. They'll have to pull out all the stops to win the division.
Note that there are still six series left on the menu (19 games) for the Blue Jays, who still have (mathematically) two chances out of three to win their division. There's still a lot of work to be done.

- Trea Turner is injured.
Trea Turner will get an MRI on Monday. He felt “grabbing” in his hamstring, he said. “If I could've kept going, I would've.” Said he hopes this is more mild than the left hamstring strain that kept him out six weeks last year, but #Phillies will know more after MRI.
