When the Jays took the field on defence, it was Randal Grichuk in centre, coming in to shore up the outfield defence with a one-run lead. Teoscar Hernandez, who had started in centre for the first time this season, moved to right field and Dickerson went to the bench. What the decision seemed to show, though, is where Grichuk sits right now in the eyes of the Jays’ decision-makers. After that, the call went to Dyson for the elite glove in centre field, sending Grichuk to right, Hernandez to left and Gurriel to the bench.
