CHICAGO — For years, the Blue Jays watched other teams rattle off lengthy win streaks. The Tampa Bay Rays started the 2013 season with 13 victories. The Cleveland Guardians won 22 in a row in 2017, a modern MLB record. Earlier this year, the Minnesota Twins dropped a 13-game streak.

The glass-half-full take for the 54-39 Jays, who enjoyed an off day in Sacramento on Thursday after playing for 16 consecutive days, is that they’re in first place, a well-earned spot for a team playing with renewed poise and commitment.
