Best moments of the Blue Jays 10 game win streak

It doesn’t happen very often and when it does it feels like everything is right in the world. The Toronto Blue Jays going on a lengthy, double digit winning streak to not only cement themselves as true contenders in 2025, but to also put them ahead of the American League East. It also capped off an impressive stretch overall where the Blue Jays have gone 28-11 since May 28, and set a franchise record for the most wins by a Blue Jays team before the All-Star break with 54. 

While the streak was snapped by the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday this was an impressive run that felt like it had a seasons worth of highlights in less than two weeks. 

Back-to-Back Blasts in Beantown

The streak started with a Sunday afternoon win over the Boston Red Sox on June 29, when the Blue Jays opened the game with back-to-back home runs in the top of the first. With one out, Addison Barger sent a 1-1 offering from Walker Buehler into the right field stands, and on the very next pitch it was Vladdy going over the monster in left. It was Barger’s ninth and Guerrero Jr.’s 12th of the season. 

Springer’s dingers against the Yankees

With the Yankees in town for a four-game series, with essentially first place on the line, George Springer had his best series in a Blue Jays uniform. He hit four home runs including a seventh inning grand slam on Canada Day to put the Blue Jays in front 9-4. It was his second home run of the game, and two days later he hit two more home runs as the Blue Jays completed the four game sweep of the Yankees with an 8-5 win.  Springers impressive week earned him AL Player of the Week honours.

Hoffman nails down the W’s

While Springer (and Addison Barger and Davis Schneider) had a big series at the plate against the Yankees, closer Jeff Hoffman’s outings cannot be overlooked. He was tasked with pitching on short rest in some pressure packed situations over the ten game win streak.

Hoffman appeared in five of the games and shut the door in all five outings, allowing just three hits in five innings while striking out six batters with 73% of his pitches thrown for strikes. He came into the game with a one-run lead twice, while also locking down a 5-3 and 11-9 win. His “easiest” outing was the July 3 game against the Yankees when he came in with an 8-5 lead. He appeared four times in the first five games of the win streak. 

Walk off bunts and barrels 

Who would’ve thought some of the Blue Jays tightest battles would have been against the LA Angels this season. In May, the Blue Jays squandered two chances to win while visiting the Angels when the bullpen couldn’t hold late leads, but they returned the favour during the streak by walking off the Angels in back to back games. The first came during Friday’s series opener when Ernie Clement got a bunt down with two men on and pitcher Sam Bachman threw the ball away in an attempt to get Clement out at first base.

One day later, Barger came to the plate with the bases loaded and two men out in the bottom of the 11th. He pulled an 83.9 m.p.h. Sweeper through the right side by smacking it 97 m.p.h. 89 other balls have left Bargers bat at a faster speed and 44 of them have resulted in hits, however, that was a big time moment to get the bat through the zone and keep the pitch not only fair, but to get it through the pull side on the ground.

Berrios and Bassitt keep the White Sox off balance

In the first two games of their series against the White Sox, the Blue Jays pitchers combined to allow just two earned runs on six hits in 12 innings pitched with five strikeouts. There is a large gap in the standings and in the talent level between these two clubs, but that doesn’t always result in the better team coming out on top, case in point the series finale in Chicago. Berrios and Bassitt kept that bulldog mentality intact and made sure that the bats would have plenty of breathing room to do their job and keep the streak alive. 

The Blue Jays will look to get on another role when they take on the Athletics for a three game series before they hit the All-Star break.
