Today in Jays History: Jays Play 19 innings
Briefly

The Blue Jays faced the Cleveland team in a memorable 19-inning game, marking one of the longest games the organization has experienced. Starting pitcher Marcus Stroman performed well but exited in the seventh inning with the bases loaded. The bullpen utilized various pitchers, with notable performances from Jesse Chavez, who pitched three perfect innings, and Ryan Goins, who stepped in as a pitcher during the 18th inning. Ultimately, the Jays lost the game 2-1, which extended Cleveland's winning streak to 14 games.
Marcus Stroman started and went 6.2 innings, allowing just 1 run. He came out in the seventh with the bases loaded on a single, error, and a walk.
Jesse Chavez pitched three perfect innings. He would go three innings in another extra-inning game that season against the Padres, getting the win in the 12th inning.
Ryan Goins came in to pitch the 18th inning. He gave up a pair of singles to put runners on the corners with no outs.
I miss games like this. We ended up losing it 2-1. It would be Cleveland's 14th straight win.
