Monday's no-hitter was a bad night for the Blue Jays. After all of the spring training spin about internal improvement and refined processes, the Jays failed to make the necessary adjustments during the course of the game. Toronto needs to make sure that doesn't become a recurring theme, writes TSN Baseball Insider Steve Phillips.

One game or series doesn’t always tell the true story of a team. The group can be different from one week to the next, and from one month to another. It’s fair to say we won’t have a good read on this edition of the. He threw a no-hitter against the Blue Jays on Monday night in what was only his eighth start of his major-league career.

They were baffled by Blanco’s changeup, which kept the Jays off-balance the entire game. Ten of his 20 swings-and-misses came off of the changeup, eight came from the slider, and two on his fastball. He tossed four curveballs, 31 fastballs, 34 sliders and 36 changeups in total. It was a good mix of pitches, and the Jays hit very few balls hard. The major-league average exit velocity for balls put in play is about 92 mph. The Jays’ average was 85.4mph on Monday.

Again, Monday was only a single game. The Jays don’t have to score a lot, they just need to score enough. But in order to do that, they will need more consistency than what they have shown so far this season.
