What were the highlights of the Blue Jays' 14-1 victory over the Angels?
Well, Nick, I'll tell you what. We did not see the finest display of baseball put on by the Angels today. They absolutely unraveled midway through this one. But, hey, they don't ask how. They ask how many. And to add on, the Jays made it a laugher in the end. They got some bombs by Valenzuela, Clement, Sanchez later on. Clement went five for five today. Valenzuela had a four-hit day. Some terrific relief outings as well today. A 14 to 1 win for the good guys. They win the series against the Angels. 20 hits today for the Blue Jays offense. Jays are now 18 and 21 on the season.
Before this game, you and I talked about Friday's win and how it was a positive for the Jays to end their losing streak and try and establish some momentum, but it didn't inspire confidence in the lineup because they only had a couple hits.
How did Brandon Valenzuela perform in his first four-hit game?
They didn't have any extra base hits in that game, and so it was really driven by elite pitching and thin margins. This was not that. This was the opposite of that. This was a game where, as you mentioned, a couple players with four plus hits, three balls go over the wall. There was a time in the middle of this game where it felt like the Angels' failures was going to be what drive the Blue Jays' success. And they're going to kind of back into a win here because of all the incompetence, which I'm sure we're going to get into over the course of the show. But then you have to give them credit. Then they actually put their foot on the accelerator. They started hitting the balls over the wall. They started driving it.
It's pretty hard to complain about 14 runs on 20 hits, even if a couple of them are kind of softball hits against a position player at the end.
You'll take it. In the arbitration hearings at the end of the year, they don't go back and pick through if you hit some balls off a position player. So I'm sure everyone who got those hits were very happy. That's Nick Ashbourne.
What impact did Ernie Clement's five-for-five performance have on the game?

to win that giveaway jersey.
How did Trey Yesavage fare on the mound during the game?
But I have the question all ready to go. It's a Treya Savage-themed question, which felt appropriate given both the giveaway and the fact that he was on the mound today. But we'll do that after the break, so stick around for that. Let's get to the player of the game, brought to you by Capital One. Capital One giving credit to over 4 million Canadians and counting. I feel like you can go actually, in games like this, Nick, you can go a variety of different ways, and I'm curious where you're going for the player of the game today.
Earlier on, I was thinking about Addison Barger as a bit of a sentimental favorite. He comes back, he drew a couple walks, had some good at bats, and that unbelievable outfield assist. He threw it over 100 miles per hour, the hardest throw of his career, and he's already been one of the harder throwers in all of baseball since he's come up. But at the end of the day, it's going to be Brandon Valenzuela. This was the first real offensive breakout we've seen from him on this level. An impressive home run that also kind of broke the game open. As I referred to before in the show, there was a moment where it was kind of Angel's silliness that was letting them dribble runs across the plate.
