There is always an element of luck with no hitters. Statcast says Jays had an expected BA of .112, which is very low for sure, but that translates into an average of 2-3 hits of the course of the game. As for the rest of the season, their BABIP is nearly league last at .204 - that cannot continue for any length of time.

The team is 2-3, starting the year on the road against some tough teams. The sky is not falling. I agree that the batting line-up doesn't look improved from last year, but the negativity around the team already is tiresome. Baseball is weird, so there shouldn't be any big reactions early on.
