Full disclosure, when that camp got to 0-2, I didn't feel too good about things.

Dalton Varshow opting not to challenge.

The 0-1 pitch that took it to 0-2 that was safely a ball would have been 1-1.

He's down 0-2.

Base is loaded.

Jays in extra innings again.

Didn't feel very good.

especially given Dalton Varshow's struggles of late and the fact that Aaron Brooks, while not a particularly effective pitcher, was trying to just bring the heat right at the top of the zone, where Dalton Varshow sometimes struggles as it was.

Brooks missed a couple, kept spotting it right at the top of the zone, and on the fourth look at a fastball that clipped or was around clipping the top edge of the strike zone, Dalton Varshow takes it for a walk-off grand slam, the fifth walk-off grand slam in Toronto Blue Jays history.

A 5-3 victory against the Tampa Bay Rays, one that they needed pretty badly.

It avoids a double sweep at the hands of the Rays.

It gets them a win heading into an off day before they hit the road for a 17-game and 17-day stretch.

Six of those are at home, but 11 are on the road against teams they're in the mix with in the American League East and the American League wildcard race.

That begins Friday in Detroit.

Tigers don't have probable pitchers yet, but we'll set that one up with Ryan Spielberg's of Apple TV's Friday Night Baseball in a little bit here.

We'll set it up tomorrow, of course, as well.

But we have a very oasis of a victory for the Toronto Blue Jays to break down.

This is Jay Stock Plus, by the way, Blake Murphy with you and joining me on the line, my very good friend, Jonah Bierenbaum of The Score.

Jonah, how we doing, pal?

Doing great, brother.
