Guerrero hits first homer of the season, as Blue Jays beat the Nationals 5 - 1

Vladimir Guerrero Jr hit his first home run of the season in the second as the Blue Jays beat the Nationals 5 - 1. Tanner Roark picked up the victory, going five innings and only giving up one run on three hits.

The Blue Jays and Nationals will meet again on Wednesday, where the Blue Jays will act as the home team. The Stadium in Buffalo is still not ready, so the game will probably be in Washington.

So far this is a typical season for the Blue Jays,  where they're out scoring their opponent 21 to 16. With exception to the two games versus the Nationals, the Blue Jays have given up a minimal 4 runs a game. When the bats have to score 5 runs a game constantly, you know you're in trouble. 

The Blue Jays have not had solid pitching since the days of Bobby Cox and Cito Gaston being the Managers in the eighties and nineties. The team has had good pitchers over the last twenty five years but cannot keep the runs down. The team is going to have to eventually correct this, if they are to ever capture their third world series championship.

So far covid has been friendly to the Blue Jays organization but as we are finding out with the Marlins, the lack of proper protocols from the league means an outbreak can strike any team at any moment.
