Dome sweet dome ... and a win!

Rogers Centre crowd of 13,446 has lots to celebrate.

The view from Deep Left Field on the Blue Jays’ 6-4 win over the Royals at Rogers Centre:

How can the first thing anyone takes away from Friday night’s win over the Kansas City Royals be anything but where it was played?

Dome Sweet Dome was the star of the show as much as Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Bo Bichette, Teoscar Hernandez and George Springer, who combined to go 7-for-15 with two doubles, two homers, four runs and four RBIs.

It started early Friday morning when the Blue Jays’ bus dropped the team off from the airport at about 4 a.m.

“It’s almost like a big breath of fresh air, you know, being home,” said Cavan Biggio, who had Friday night off. “This year has been kind of crazy, going from Dunedin to Buffalo and now finally back here — it finally feels right. Just getting back here and going to the locker room, seeing facilities we haven’t seen in a long time. This whole stadium is just so beautiful, it just brings excitement.”

So did the sellout crowd of 13,446, which made it feel like an actual home game for the Jays for the first time in 22 months. They chanted “M-V-P! M-V-P!” when Guerrero came to the plate, booed throws to first by Kansas City pitchers, and went nuts when Hernandez hit the first home run in this place since Sept. 29, 2019 — a 441-foot shot to left that clanged off the message board on the facing of the 300 level.

The fans didn’t have to shake any rust off, though the park might have had to. Guerrero hit a line-drive single to right in his first at-bat and the scoreboard displayed an exit velocity of 300.9 miles per hour. Guerrero hits them hard, but nobody hits them that hard. All part of the first-night-back fun.

Cough, cough: The Jays added four arms to their bullpen in trades this month, including a pair at the deadline, but the best of the bunch might be someone who was here the whole time.

Lefty Tim Mayza took over for Ross Stripling with one out in the sixth inning, after Sal Perez’s homer cut the Jays’ lead to just one run.

Mayza did a terrific impression of a hot knife, with the Royals as his butter. He finished the sixth and worked a perfect seventh, getting three ground balls and a pair of strikeouts, needing only 13 pitches to record the five outs.

The outing continued a very impressive run for the southpaw; he has allowed one run on six hits over his last 15 appearances, covering 13 2⁄3 innings.

Opponents are hitting just .133 off him over that stretch, and he’s walked only two.

In fact, outside of a 10-day slump in mid-May, he has a sparkling 1.48 ERA.

á Run, Lopez, run: Brad Hand made his Jays debut in the top of the eighth, coming on to protect a 6-2 lead after Bichette’s two-run homer gave the team some rare late add-on runs.

He gave up a leadoff single to Nicky Lopez, then Whit Merrifield hit a ground ball into the hole between third and short. Bichette made a nice play on the backhand, but his throw to try to get the speedy Merrifield bounced past Guerrero. Catcher Reese McGuire went to back up the play, but Hand didn’t go to cover the vacated home plate and neither did anyone else.

Lopez just kept on running and scored without a throw as neither Bichette nor Hand were able to get to the plate in time.

The Royals’ runner advanced 270 feet on a ground ball to shortstop.

Hand finished the inning with no further damage and Jordan Romano closed things out in the ninth, picking up the first save by a Canadian Blue Jay since Paul Quantrill did it on Oct. 6, 2001.
