Summary
Week 2 was a mixed bag, taking the series win against the Rockies before dropping 2 in a row (against Seattle and Colorado). Before winning games 15 and 16 the Jays dropped down to .500 and were unable to make up any ground against the Yankees, who are dominating the AL East at 12-4. Still, there were a lot of great moments including 4 straight games with home runs for Anthony Santander (including a walk-off against the Rockies) and Andres Giménez's 50th career home run.
