Once again, the Toronto Blue Jays find themselves in the shadow of .500, a mark the team hasn’t met since the opening day of the 2017 season. With a healthy pitching staff and a surging Josh Donaldson, the Jays returned home to find themselves just 1.5 games out of the second AL wild-card spot. In their last three starts in particular, Toronto starters gave the type of performance the team needs, both in terms of quality and distance. “It’s always a bonus for our starting pitchers to go deep into the game,” Donaldson said after Happ’s outing on Sunday.
