Target (Field) Practice: Jays Explode Late to Crush Twins

About this episode

Sho Alli and Jesse Rubinoff analyze the Blue Jays' significant victory over the Twins, highlighting key player performances and discussing injuries.

Sho Alli and Jesse Rubinoff break down the Blue Jays' 11-4 win over the Twins in the third game of this four-game series at Target Field in Minnesota! They take your calls and texts, and get right to the team scoring eight runs in the eighth inning to blow the game open - how important has Kazuma Okamoto continued to be? They discuss Myles Straw's big day, Lenyn Sosa and Davis Schneider both contributing, and Brandon Valenzuela smashing a three-run shot - is there a chance Valenzuela stays up over Tyler Heineman when Alejandro Kirk eventually returns? Plus, they get into a terrific seven innings from Dylan Cease, and discuss the injury to George Springer.
