"On May 7th, the Blue Jays carried a two-run lead into the bottom of the ninth, but Jeff Hoffman blew a save and they were walked-off. That dropped their record to 16-20, the furthest below .500 the 2025 Blue Jays dropped."
"They proceeded to sweep their next series, a three-game series against the Seattle Mariners. At that point, the Blue Jays weren't the team they'd turn into quite yet, going 6-8 over their next 14 games."
"It was that winning streak that made the season feel special, and the rest was history. But the feeling on May 7th was less than ideal, to say the least."
"On May 5th, 2025, the Blue Jays were slashing .238/.310/.351 with 23 home runs, the fewest in the league. That was good enough for an 87 wRC+, the seventh-lowest in the league."
The 2025 Blue Jays began the season with a 12-8 record but quickly fell to 16-20 after losing several games. A pivotal moment occurred on May 7th when they lost a game to the Angels, marking their lowest point. However, they rebounded by sweeping the Mariners and later achieved a remarkable 12-2 stretch, including an 11-game winning streak. In contrast, the 2026 Blue Jays are in better shape despite being below .500, showing improvements in both hitting and pitching compared to the previous season.
