Very efficient, had a seven-pitch inning in the third that kind of kept things together for him.

16-pitch first inning, 18-pitch in the second.

Looking a lot like the Trey Savage we saw last year.

Splitter was a little inconsistent at times, and listening to a little bit of the telecast, I think Caleb Joseph made a really good point about the work behind the plate of Tyler Heinemann very early in the game.

calling for fastball after fastball after fastball and really working to get Trey Yassavitch into the flow of the game.

And the end result, as we said, a terrific performance by Trey Yassavitch.

I mean, let's face it, there was some...

I wouldn't say suggestions, but I think some people were wondering whether or not Trey Savage might have been brought up too early.

There was discussion about giving him another start down in AAA, but with Max Scherzer going on the IL and some of the other inconsistencies we've seen from the rotation, probably no great surprise.

I mean, big crowd, big win over the Red Sox.

Had the Jays lost tonight to the Red Sox, they would have fallen behind them in the standings.

That's not that big a deal for me at this particular date, but clearly for a lot of folks, I think the sight of Trey Savage returning and performing the way he did, a huge...

Huge lift for this team.

And as I said, they're getting healthy.

And that's something we've kind of been waiting for.

They're 13-16, three games under .500.

They can win the series tomorrow.

Got a 3-0-7 first pitch.

We don't know yet who the starting pitcher will be.

We do know that Eric Lauer will figure prominently, whether it's as a starter or as a reliever.
