How did the Blue Jays secure a 7‑2 win over the Rangers in the series finale?
Well, Jesse, a nice way to wrap up the Texas half of this road trip. A 7-2 Blue Jays win over the Rangers. They did lose the series last night, so this game is more of a silver lining as they somewhat salvage things and avoid a sweep, but still, some positives today in a big win. Some signs of life from the offense as they chase deGrom in the fifth. Spencer Miles continues to look electric. The whole bullpen large. largely pulling through when they really needed them to. The Jays improved to seventy seven and seventy nine after bullpen day. They are now two and a half games back of the White Sox for that final playoff spot.
Yeah, we spent the majority of the pregame show talking about Spencer Miles and boy, did he m did he make it worth it for us because he looked unbelievable. You gotta think that this guy has done everything that he could possibly do to have a big spot and big role in next year's rotation. Maybe not rotation, but at least uh on the pitching staff in some respect because there hasn't been any slip up the whole year for this guy. Like it's just a a remarkable performance Start to finish for Spencer Miles and and Honestly a an important piece this season. Obviously uh the odds are still long uh for the Blue Jays to get into the postseason. But again, where would they be without Spencer Miles? And then to take advantage of what you saw from Jacob de Grom early
Kind of erratic, uh, not usually what you could expect from deGrom is one of the we we were talking about it in here, just stuff wise, one of the best pitchers of a generation, really. And you could tell early he wasn't quite at his best. And the Blue Jays were able to take advantage and uh get him out of the game in the fifth inning. So really a front to back, uh, a pretty sharp performance from a team whose backs are really up against the ropes on this one.
That is Jesse Rubinoff. I'm show Ali. You're listening to Jay's Talk on SportsNet 590 The Fan, the Blue Jays Radio Network. We're also streaming on sportsnet.ca on the SportsNet app as well.

Standard messaging and data rates may apply. Yeah, it's it's funny if you're Talking about The it's it's not really a true pitching duel because Miles only went a handful of innings, but if you're talking about who won that early pitching duel, I feel like it's it's it's incredible that you could even say Spencer Miles beat quote unquote beat Jacob de Grom in a pitching duel, which is pretty incredible.
But again, I mean it wasn't a full start. We did we knew he wasn't gonna throw that many pitches today, right? Last time he had a a a again, uh an outing, a start, how w however you want to look at it, he was tabbed for 40 to 45 pitches, and that's kind of where he landed today. Hyper efficient for Miles, no question. So a lot of positive there, a lot of positive for the offense as well. Can I also just say some we're sitting here in baseball control in our downtown Toronto studios? We have the NFL games on via red zone during the Jays game, watching both the Jays and effectively every NFL game at the same time with Jesse. It is one of my favorite things in the entire world. Every team is the best team, every team is the
Worst team. We're back. We're cooked. We're back. I love it. Like I wish I honestly wish I could spend every Sunday with you like this. Well, you're welcome over anytime. Well you're welcome over any time,
buddy. I would love to do it. But uh yeah, I mean Herbert's the worst quarterback in football right now. He's what is it, one fantasy point through the half? Yeah, not not good, uh any way you slice it. But luckily, uh instead of watching the horrible performances on the gridiron, we're able to watch yeah some good blue jays baseball. Just uh a a quality effort. So yeah, of course. Uh I am happy to watch any time with you. I I feel the same way.
Uh you know, you on Miles too We were talking in the pregame about the rotation and we were just talking about this before we started our show now.
