Betting on baseball can be difficult; the stupid baseball always seemingly works against whatever you need it to do. Does that unmotivate me? No way. Looking into the motivations of players and the somewhat forced hand of managerial decisions has been good so far this year.

Second baseman Andrés Giménez, who scored on the Bichette hit, was 1-for-3 before getting subbed out for Addison Barger in the bottom of the seventh inning. The 26-year-old is slashing .192/.271/.304 with three homers and 10 RBI this season. The Blue Jays clarified what happened to Giménéz on social media.
