Days after it was Davis Schneider joining the Blue Jays and having the game(s) of his life, Monday night saw utility man Cavan Biggio do the same.

His two-run jack in the top of the eighth helped secure the Toronto Blue Jays their win, and in the bottom of the inning, got the final two outs on a 4-unassisted double play.
Don&#8217;t take it from me, take it from Jays pitcher Chris Bassitt.
&#8220;There has to be more perfect games than 4 unassissted double plays where the second baseman gets the 2nd out at first correct?&#8221; he pondered on Twitter Tuesday. &#8220;I can&#8217;t get Biggio&#8217;s play out of my head.&#8221;
Playing as a utility roleplayer all season, it was a great moment to see Biggio step up into and make two crucial plays to secure the win.
He&#8217;ll be back in the lineup Tuesday night for game two against the Cleveland Guardians and the club gives Davis Schneider, who went 0-for-4 at the plate with two strikeouts in the leadoff spot, a night off.
Yusei Kikuchi will take the mound for the Jays opposite of Tanner Bibee for the Guardians.
