Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker recap the Blue Jays’ 4-0 loss to the Yankees, specifically Yusei Kikuchi’s outing where his velocity was up but only lasted 3.1 innings (0:40). The guys also examine the Blue Jays catching depth without Danny Jansen and how Alejandro Kirk will handle the pitching staff for an extended time with crucial matchups against the Red Sox and Astros approaching on the schedule (10:30). Later, Blue Jays pitcher Alek Manoah re-visits his impressive start in the opener of the Yankees series, his approach on the mound, and what Kevin Gausman has taught him since joining the Blue Jays (31:19).
