Toronto Blue Jays ace Kevin Gausman put out a call for action. The team abided.

For the first time this season, the Blue Jays opened the Rogers Centre roof Monday against the Miami Marlins (Sportsnet, Sportsnet+, 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT).

Under sunny skies and a projected temperature of around 20 degrees C around first pitch, Gausman took to X for his request.

"If the roof is closed tonight we riot," Gausman wrote.

Around one hour later, the Blue Jays replied:

Last season, the roof opened for the first time 10 days earlier for a May 15 game against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Monday's game against the Marlins marks the first of a three-game set before the Blue Jays leave town for four games in Baltimore against the Orioles.
