About this episode

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker discuss the Blue Jays' victory over the Yankees and the impact of Alejandro Kirk's return.

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 8-5 win vs. the Yankees to open the three-game series in Toronto! They take your calls and texts, and get right to the return of Alejandro Kirk off the IL, as he had a huge day in the win - is he the most important player on the roster when you consider his work behind the plate as well? What does that do for the team moving forward? They get into Kazuma Okamoto blasting a two-run homer into the fifth deck, the at-bats from Vladimir Guerrero Jr., and what they saw in a tough start from Trey Yesavage.
