Dylan Cease was sensational, tossing a complete-game one-hitter while continuing to prove why Toronto invested heavily in him during the offseason. Cease overpowered Boston from the first inning to the last, adding another elite outing to what has been an outstanding first season in a Blue Jays uniform.The Blue Jays' offence finally broke through against a difficult matchup in Sonny Gray. Toronto erupted for five runs in the third inning thanks to clutch two-out hitting, beginning with an RBI single from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. before Ernie Clement ripped an RBI double. George Springer delivered the biggest blow of the night with a towering three-run home run that put the game out of reach. Guerrero added another RBI in the ninth inning as the Jays completed a convincing 6-0 victory.With the series now in the balance, the Blue Jays turn to Kevin Gausman as they look to secure the series win against one of baseball's hottest teams. Gausman has struggled in recent starts, and with the MLB Trade Deadline rapidly approaching, speculation continues to grow that this could be one of his final outings in a Blue Jays uniform. Standing in Toronto's way is Ranger Suárez, who dominated the Jays earlier this season by throwing eight scoreless innings, allowing just one hit while striking out 10.Can the Blue Jays finally build momentum heading into the trade deadline, or will the Red Sox bounce back as they continue chasing the AL East leaders while strengthening their American League Wild Card position?

The Toronto Blue Jays let another opportunity slip away in a heartbreaking 6-4 loss to the Boston Red Sox, falling back to 10 games under .500 and now sitting 6.5 games out of a Wild Card spot. On this episode of Flight Deck, host Dan Riccio breaks down a game that looked destined to be a memorable comeback before unravelling in the late innings.After falling behind 4-0, the Blue Jays battled back thanks to Kazuma Okamoto's massive three-run home run in the seventh inning before Andrés Giménez tied the game with a sacrifice fly in the eighth following outstanding at-bats from Nathan Lukes and Daulton Varsho. Toronto finally found timely hitting after struggling all night with runners in scoring position, but the comeback was short-lived.With Tyler Rogers and Louis Varland unavailable, the Blue Jays were forced into a difficult bullpen decision, turning to rookie CJ Van Eyk in a high-leverage situation. The young right-hander surrendered two runs while recording just one out, allowing Boston to reclaim the lead for good. They wouldn't look back as Aroldis Chapman closed out the 9th for his 24th save of the season.Despite the loss, Trey Yesavage continued to show encouraging development. The rookie struck out nine hitters while issuing just one walk, a significant improvement for a pitcher whose command has been one of his biggest challenges this season. While he wasn't able to pitch deep into the game, only going 4 innings, his electric stuff was on full display.Looking ahead, Flight Deck previews a marquee pitching matchup as Sonny Gray squares off against Dylan Cease. Cease is looking to bounce back after an uncharacteristically rough outing that was heavily impacted by poor defensive play behind him, while the Blue Jays desperately search for a win to halt their slide before the MLB trade deadline.With Boston climbing into the second American League Wild Card spot ahead of the Cleveland Guardians and Toronto's playoff hopes fading, can the Red Sox continue their surge, or will the Blue Jays finally build momentum before the trade deadline changes the direction of their season?We finish with Dan's picks presented by BET365.LIVE every game day one hour before first pitch right here on the Blue Jays Nation YouTube channel and on Instagram @BlueJaysNation.Subscribe and turn on notifications so you never miss an episode of Flight Deck.Thanks to our partners:bet365: http://www.bet365.caTable Fare + Social: https://www.tablefoodhall.com/#BlueJays #TorontoBlueJays #MLB #BlueJaysNation #FlightDeck Hosted on Acast.

It is the black eye on the sport that would lead to the banning of eight players. Eddie Cicotte and "Shoeless" Joe Jackson both confessed to accepting money from gamblers. Cicotte's second pitch of Game 1 of the 1919 World Series hit the Reds leadoff batter, which was the pre-arranged signal to the gamblers that the players had accepted the fix. Jackson and Cicotte would both recant their confessions after key evidence went missing from the Cook County courthouse.

With one week remaining in the 2024 MLB regular season, the Seattle Sports Guy and creator of The Funny 115, Mario Lanza, returns to the Jack Vita Show to discuss the Seattle Mariners' season and the latest trends within the game of baseball. Mario and Jack also take a broader look at the sport, from a national perspective. Mario is one the most knowledgeable Seattle sports fans on the planet. Each year, Mario leaves us a voice message, providing a detailed outlook for the coming Mariners' season, in our AL West Preview show. And each year, Mario has a generally positive outlook entering the season. He's remained quite patient and rational, even while the M's have just barely missed the postseason two of the last three seasons. It appears Mario's patience has run out, however. Find out why this is one of Mario's least favorite Mariners teams of his lifetime. Sunday, the Mariners held a four-run lead over the Texas Rangers entering the bottom of the sixth inning. The M's blew a 4-0 lead, falling to the Rangers 6-5, and squandering an opportunity to move up in the American League Wild Card standings. Both teams in front of the M's in the AL Wild Card standings — the Kansas City Royals and Minnesota Twins — lost on Sunday. With six games left, Seattle is two games back of the Royals for the final AL Wild Card spot. The Mariners are still very much alive, but they have their work cut out for them this week. Three teams from the AL Central sit in front of the Mariners in the Wild Card standings, and all three of them can thank the Chicago White Sox for part of their success this season. Both the Royals and Twins are 12-1 versus the lowly South Siders in 2024, and the Tigers are 9-1, with one series remaining before season's end. Meanwhile, the White Sox (36-120) are on the cusp of putting together the worst regular season record in MLB history. Mario and Jack talk about the 2024 White Sox. Have either of them scene a worse Major League team before? Later, Mario and Jack discuss how dominant pitching has become in Major League Baseball and the remarkable seasons Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani are enjoying. Mario and Jack discuss the state of baseball in 2024, thoughts on the 2024 season, baseball fights, and so much more along the way! You can follow Mario on Twitter, @MarioJLanza. He hosts two podcasts: Survivor Historians and Staff Picks. He wrote a book on the first three seasons of CBS' hit reality competition show Survivor called "When it was Worth Playing For".
