They're going to the bottom of the ninth in Atlanta with Eli White, The Execrable Marcell Ozuna and Matt Olson due up against Chad Green, who has blown two save chances in a row after securing his first 16 of the year. 2-1 #Bluejays

Make it three straight blown saves for Chad Green. Infield seeing-eye single by White, single by Ozuna, sac fly by Olson. It's a 2-2 tie with a runner on first and 1out. #Bluejays

Green gets Sean Murphty to bounce into a double play and they're going to extra innings in a 2-2 tie. It should be noted that, despite his current three-outing slump, Chad Green is BY FAR the best reliever #Bluejays currently have. Chat with me at bsky.app/profile/wilner…

#Bluejays load the bases with 1out in top10 but don't score and now Zach Pop is on to try to get this to the 11st. Best of luck to him. Happy to chat with you about it at bsky.app/profile/wilner…

Addison Barger throws away a ground ball to cash the tying run and an infield single ends it. #Bluejays fall 4-3 in 11, home to Gibby and the Mets tomorrow.

I have lived in Toronto for all but six weeks of my half-century-plus and have never heard anyone refer to it as the Queen City. That's Cincinnati. Or Buffalo. I'm sure we'll get used to the name, but this feels like a swing and a miss. #PWHL

Here’s how #Bluejays will line it up as they open up a three-game set against John Gibbons’ Mets. #Jays are trying to do Atlanta a favour this week after failing to do the Mets a favour on the weekend in Atlanta. Ryan Yarbrough will be the bulk guy.

97-year-old Holocaust survivor Irene Kurtz throws out the first pitch before tonight’s #Bluejays game, caught by Spencer Horwitz, from whom she gets a big hug afterward! One bounce, not bad at all. #MazelTov #AmIsraelChai

Ryan Burr gets the job done as #Bluejays opener with two hitless innings to begin the evening. #Jays left the bases loaded in bot1, it's 0-0 to bot2. Come over with me to Bluesky at bsky.app/profile/wilner… and help build a great baseball community there!

After #Bluejays go in order in bot2, Luis Frias comes out to make his home debut, starting the 3th. It has to go better than Saturday in Atlanta, right? Come talk to me about it over on Bluesky at bsky.app/profile/wilner…

It went a lot better than Saturday in Atlanta. Frias retires all four batters he faces and hands things over to Ryan Yarbrough with 1out in top4 of a 0-0 game. #Bluejays

The Metropolitans' first hit of the game is a 2out single by J.D. Martinez - a player #Bluejays should really have signed last winter - in top4. With a walk and a hit batter aboard, it drives in a run. #Jays down 1-0 to bot4. Join me on Bluesky at bsky.app/profile/wilner…

#Bluejays are thrilled to have seen the last of Tylor Megill, who had retired 16 in a row. Their only hit was a Spencer Horwitz double in the first inning. Lefty Danny Young takes over with #Jays down 1-0 bot7 and Horwitz up.

Against #Mets bullpen, #Bluejays take the lead in bot7. Davis Schneider is hit by a pitch, then back to back singles by Kirk and Clement load the bases for Jimenez, who gets hit with the first pitch. Nathan Lukes follows with a sac fly. bsky.app/profile/wilner…

Tommy Nance has turned into a pumpkin awful hard here in top8. He walked two around an infield single to load the bases, then wild pitched the tying run home. A Brian Serven passed ball has allowed the go-ahead run to score. 2out, top8. #Bluejays down 3-2.

Leo Jimenez gives #Bluejays fans a thrill, putting a charge into one with 2out in bot9, but it dies at the track and it’s six losses in seven games as #Mets win 3-2. #Jays are 2-17 when the bullpen blows a save chance.

So many of you who came to the show in the spring asked when we were doing it again - the answer is THURSDAY!!! We’ll talk about this disappointing #Bluejays season and what the future may hold. And we’re wrangling some very special guests. See you then!
