Friday's 6-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers held plenty of heroes, once again. Eight Toronto players recorded a hit.

Two months after there were concerns about another lost season in Toronto, the Blue Jays are now eyeing the best record in baseball. How about that turnaround? The Jays were 25-27 after a 13-0 loss on May 25.

The last time the Blue Jays were atop MLB this late in the season was 1992, according to Sportsnet. The 1992 season was the first of consecutive World Series championships for Toronto, so this is quite the good omen.
