Alejandro Kirk is back. With a career game at the plate, the Blue Jays catcher single-handedly blew the roof off Rogers Centre, helping them to secure the AL East in game 162, their first division title since 2015.
On a stage filled with pressure and angst, Kirk put the team on his back with a game that not only secured a banner but reminded fans of just how dangerous he can be when locked in. The Blue Jays’ catcher did more than just perform, going three-for-five with two home runs, a double, and six RBI.
Blue Jays ecstatic that this player has found his groove at the right time
His afternoon was capped off with the most emotion he's ever displayed, including a curtain call after his second bomb of the day.
