TORONTO, Ont. — What is it about normally mild-mannered Jordan Romano that turns the Blue Jays reliever into one of the most intense closers in the game?

“A lot of it is his personality,” Schneider said of Romano, who is climbing the charts towards being one of the most reliable closers in club history. It’s working rather well for the 31-year-old, who in Sunday’s 3-1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers recorded his fourth save of the season and 101st of his career. The latter is the notable number as it allowed him to surpass Billy Koch and into fourth in club history, leaving Romano just three behind Roberto Osuna and Duane Ward Like all Jays relievers to follow, Romano has a long way to go to catch Tom Henke’s club-record 217.

“It’s phenomenal,” Schneider said. “Saves are hard. I think you have to be wired a certain way and have water and sweat all over yourself at the same time.
