Blue Jays Talk

Sho Alli and Julia Kreuz break down the Blue Jays' 9-2 win over the Rays to grab a series split at Tropicana Field! They take your calls and texts, and get right to the outing from Justin Turner, which saw him knock home four runs, including a solo shot. How important is it to have his bat in the middle of the Blue Jays order? They chat about Kevin Gausman's start, which saw him notch six strikeouts over 4.1 IP - how encouraging was it to see the fastball and splitter both working in tandem? Plus, they get to Ernie Clement's play at shortstop in Bo Bichette's absence, Davis Schneider smashing his first home run of 2024, and how you split time between the glut of talented infielders on the team.
