Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 5-1 loss vs. the Rays in the series opener down at Tropicana Field.

They discuss the approach against Nick Martinez and the Rays bullpen, the usage of the Jays bullpen on the other side, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and what he continues to be as a hitter, and Eric Lauer's start of 4.1 IP of three earned runs allowed.
