The game took a dramatic turn in the ninth inning when Milwaukee led by a run but handed the ball to their struggling closer, Trevor Megill, who has an ERA of 11.25 this season. The immense struggles continued for Megill, leading to the Blue Jays’ comeback.
Fans were left buzzing as the Blue Jays celebrated their victory, marking a crucial win in a season that has seen both teams underperform compared to last year. “I’ll take the Jays to take two of three over the Crew,” one fan remarked, reflecting the community’s hope for better days ahead.
