The Toronto Blue Jays began the 2025 season with a perfect 3-0 series sweep against the Athletics, featuring two walk-off victories, an MLB-record 50 strikeouts by the pitching staff, and impressive debuts from newcomers Dylan Cease, Kazuma Okamoto, and Jesus Sanchez, who each hit their first Blue Jays home runs.
As the team prepares to face the Rockies in Toronto and then the White Sox in Chicago, manager John Schneider is focused on executing against a favorable schedule, with Cody Ponce set to make his Blue Jays debut Monday. The 3-0 start marks the team's best opening since 1995.
