How to serve poetic justice? Ask the Blue Jays, and they will serve it hot. Well, the Tuesday game between the Blue Jays and the Rays got it all, from the Blue Jays being stripped of a home run robbery to hitting the same place when at bat, they are redefining what a winning campaign looks like. And if you remember how the Blue Jays previously responded to Michael Kay for his jibe, you know they will let any injustice go unanswered.

Well, Tuesday saw the Blue Jays edging the Rays 6-5, but not without a little drama. Reportedly, in the third inning, Brandon Lowe hit Jose Berrios’ 2-2 changeup deep to right. But just as outfielder Nathan Lukes leapt at the wall, a fan reached out and snagged the ball. Toronto immediately challenged, arguing interference. Verdict? There was indeed fan interference, but the ball was going out anyway, so the home run stood! The Blue Jays couldn’t do anything, but it took little time for them to give it back in style.

“NO REVIEW NECESSARY!” The Blue Jays’ official X account shared this brief caption along with a clip of Joey Loperfido hitting a home run. Now, if you know, you know…

In the fifth, Joey Loperfido hit a solo home run off Kevin Kelly, and guess what, the ball hit the exact spot where Nathan Lukes missed due to fan interference before. This time, the ball was so high that it flew uninterruptedly. So, the Blue Jays’ captain denotes how they gave it back.

Typical Blue Jays stunt, and suits right when you are leading the AL East. But while Toronto won the game, the controversy is far from over.

And what’s more, the George M. Steinbrenner Field further added to the confusion in the play. Since it’s the Yankees’ spring training home, it doesn’t have the same advanced camera setups you’d find in a regular big-league park. However, the Blue Jays came out victorious, as usual this year.

The Blue Jays are inching closer to the division title

It was last in 2015 when Toronto won its last division title. Till then, it was either they’re missing the postseason or entered with a Wild Card. However, this time, the tide is strong with them, and with their latest win against the Rays, they secured a 5-game lead over the second-placed Yankees. So, all set to see the Jays winning the AL East. Well, maybe!

However, it looks like the Blue Jays are rushing to secure their first place.

Well, the Jays are looking to lock up the AL East crown well before their regular-season finale on Sept. 28 against the Rays. Because if they clinch early, manager John Schneider would get the luxury of resting his everyday players and lining up his rotation exactly how he wants for the playoffs. And on top of that, they are pushing to hang on to the top seed in the American League, which would guarantee home-field advantage through at least the championship series.

Hence, finishing in the top two would also mean a first-round bye straight into the division series. With the current trajectory, it’s all with the Blue Jays; the fans can bet on them this time.
