What was the outcome of the Blue Jays vs. Orioles game?
for the Toronto Blue Jays today. 6-4 in the end. The final score in favor of the good guys. The Jays even the series with the Orioles. Both teams pull even with each other.
How did Ernie Clement contribute to the Blue Jays' victory?
Both teams 31 and 34 following today's game. It sets up a rubber match tomorrow with Kevin Gosman on the mound here at the Rogers Center. But lots to like from the Blue Jays today.
Yeah, you look at the final game of the Brave Series and then this game today taking out yesterday from the equation. That's 28 hits. in those two games and when you're looking for positives and things that would really move the needle on this Blue Jays season it's the offense starting to get going and this game today was much more reminiscent of the Blue Jays team that we saw in 2025 where you got a lot of different contributions from many different guys up and down the lineup obviously Ernie Clement played a massive role in this game Jesus Sanchez with two hits Okamoto two hits
What potential does Brandon Valenzuela have in the lineup?
Andres Jimenez with two hits. So it was really one of those days where you got contributions from everybody and it resulted in a big victory for a team that's looking really to go on another run here.

What are the implications of Spencer Miles' performance?
The People's Text Line. Always open. Standard messaging and data rates may apply. I mean, in a lot of ways... There are a lot of ways we could go. Maybe it's a better way of saying this. We could talk about some of the smiles. Maybe Andres Jimenez getting off the schneid, as Ben said earlier, with a couple of hits. Okamoto had a great game. I want to talk about Brandon Valenzuela as well. I have some questions about how the team will handle him. But I do feel like it's hard not to start discussion of a game like what we got today without getting to Ernie Clement. I mean, Ernie Clement... was the man today. This was the Ernie Clement game, Jesse, right? I mean, three-run bomb off Kyle Braddish, a slider right down the middle.
He just blasted that thing. He had the triple as well later on.
How is Kazuma Okamoto performing this season?
So he basically, I know it didn't happen today, but he got the two hardest parts of the cycle out of the way immediately. I was really hoping it would get done, but alas, we'll have to settle for the three-run bomb and a triple. The gorgeous defensive play where he dives for the Pete Alonso grounder and gets it to Vladdy for the out with Tyler Rodgers on the mound who had already been brought in with a runner on. And then fittingly, he gets the ball. I mean, this is just how things seem tend to work, right? The ball finds you, but he gets the ball on the final play of the game, gets it to Vladdy again for the final out. That wasn't an easy play either.
Yeah, it was.
He kind of spins to get that ball and then turns again and throws it to Vladdy. I mean, yeah, he impacted the outcome of this game. In every possible way, right? I mean, I have to check. I think he's still after... Again, I don't think it changes that much mid-game. But leading the team in slugging percentage. We talked about this in the pregame show. On pace for a career high in home runs.
What is the current status of Jeff Hoffman in the bullpen?
We had on the radio network, we played the... the Hazel interview with Ernie on the field, and he even referenced the fact that early in the year, he knew he had not been playing well defensively, which is somewhat uncharacteristic for him. He had kind of scuffled defensively for the early part of the year, and not so much anymore, right? So kind of good to see every facet of his game coming together. I'll say this about Ernie too, Jesse. I don't think – I'm fond of saying that there's this – who's the fan favorite of the team, right? In years past, Ryan Goins, perhaps, Santiago Espinel, David Schneider. Kiermaier had a spell. Yeah, Kiermaier. Guys who I think – are obviously talented all these guys are but guys who I think there's like a little scrappiness to them and I think for a time it was Ernie I actually don't think you can count him as that anymore because I actually do think he's simply an outright star for this club like he is closer to the Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
