Blue Jays Start 3-0, Riding Wave of Momentum

The Toronto Blue Jays began their 50th season in impressive fashion, sweeping the Athletics in three games. The pitching staff recorded an MLB-record 50 strikeouts, while newcomers Kazuma Okamoto and Jesus Sanchez each hit their first Blue Jays home runs.

Now 3-0 for the first time in 30 years, the team faces a favorable schedule ahead with games against the Rockies and White Sox. Cody Ponce is set to make his Blue Jays debut Monday as the team looks to build on its strong start.
