It took extra innings, but the Blue Jays found a way to win the series opener against baseball’s last place team, the Oakland Athletics, to move within half game of the final Wild Card spot. Host Blake Murphy brings on former big leaguer and co-host of Blair and Barker, Kevin Barker, to chat about the contributions from the Jays' Triple-A call ups and the signs that the offence could finally be coming around. After that, Blake opens up the mailbag to respond to your texts and tweets (31:36)! To start the second hour, MLB.com’s Keegan Matheson stops by to dissect some of the recent trends with the team, as well as some possible moves to expect ahead of next week's showdown with the Rangers (50:47). To close out today, Blake gets some insight into Texas' struggles of late with Chelsea Janes of the Washington Post (01:16:52).
