Regular season
Opening Day
March and April
The Blue Jays opened the 2024 campaign on the road for a season-long ten-game road trip, due to ongoing renovations to the Rogers Centre .[ 12] The Jays split their opening series with the Tampa Bay Rays , with each team winning two games. Reliever Génesis Cabrera was suspended for three games due to a physical altercation with Rays shortstop José Caballero during the third game of the series, though the suspension was reduced to two games after appeal.[ 13] Toronto then began a three-game series with the Houston Astros , losing the first game after Ronel Blanco threw the first no-hitter of the 2024 MLB season.[ 14] The Jays would win the second game before being one-hit in the final game, setting a new franchise-low with just 38 hits through their first seven games.[ 15] The Blue Jays would take their first game against the New York Yankees 3–0, but would lose the following two games to end their road trip with a 4–6 record.[ 16]
Heading to the newly-renovated Rogers Centre for the first time in 2024, the Blue Jays defeated the Seattle Mariners 5–2 in their home opener, and would take two of three games to win their first series of the season.[ 17] The Jays lost the opening game against the Colorado Rockies , but rallied to take the next two and win the series.[ 18] They carried that success into their final series of the homestand against the Yankees, winning the first two games and nearly taking the third before the bullpen allowed four runs in the ninth inning to lose the game, 6–4.[ 19] The Blue Jays then travelled to San Diego for the first time since the 2013 season to take on the Padres .[ 20] Toronto won two of three games to take their fourth-consecutive series victory.[ 21]
