The Toronto Blue Jays notched their 73rd win of the season against the Texas Rangers, and Myles Straw opened up about his team's energy.
Myles Straw is making the most of his first year with the Toronto Blue Jays.
The Blue Jays took on Straw's contract from Cleveland and International Pool money in an effort to make a bid for Roki Sasaki.
Nobody knew that he would provide this kind of depth and energy to this team at the time.
It's these bursts of the unexpected that have made the Blue Jays who they are, a special team that's quickly capturing a country.
Straw had a dominant day at the plate. The 30-year-old notched the first multi-home run game of his career during the 14-2 blowout.
KILOMETRES STRAW JUST TOOK YOU DEEP!
He received love from the Blue Jays faithful as he rounded the bases and from his teammates as he returned to the dugout.
HE DID IT AGAIN! Myles Straw's FIRST multi-homer game 😱
For a player who has played on successful teams throughout his career, Straw recognizes a special team when he sees one.
"I talk to guys about how special this team is, how great this city is ... It's been a blast here. I love this place. I love the people. I love everything about it. I don't take a day for granted here. I love everything about it.»
While he isn't as big a star as George Springer or Vladimir Guerrero Jr., he has enjoyed being in a new environment. Saturday's game against the Texas Rangers was no different.
«It's sick out there said Straw, there's 40,000 people here every day at this point. It's something like I've never seen before.»
In the early days of the season, Straw's path to the roster was his defense, which has long been his calling card.
With Daulton Varsho needing some extra time to rehab from his 2024 shoulder surgery, Straw stole a spot on the roster by batting .400 in Spring Training.
Schneider called Straw's 2025 "outstanding" and said he's an "integral piece" of the #BlueJays' clubhouse
«[There was] some noise around the acquisition, but he's a baseball player. He's a winning baseball player and he's done his fair share of helping us win in some big spots.»

While the outfielder has enjoyed his time with the Blue Jays, his impact has been big. Despite sitting on the second string of Schneider's roster, Straw was not supposed to see a lot of playing time.
However, injuries to Springer and Daulton Varsho pushed the outfielder into action. After Saturday's game, Straw has played in 103 of the Blue Jays' 124 games so far this season.
Toronto has a real chance to secure the American League's top seed and make a deep playoff run.
If Straw's teammates have bought in as much as he has, the Blue Jays' odds at a title are very good.
