—@kimi8The Jays took control early on in Monday's game, with superstar Josh Donaldson knocking out a two-run homer in the first inning. Not to be outdone, Chris Colabello followed with another home run, pushing the score to 3-0 in the team's first round at bat.
The excitement seems to have prompted many Thanksgiving diners to pull up a plate in front of the TV, greasy fingers sending out tweets about the action.
