Vladdy Jr. Goes Yard, Jays Thump Angels in Anaheim

About this episode

Sho Alli and Nick Ashbourne discuss the Blue Jays' victory over the Angels, highlighting key performances and game strategies.

Sho Alli and Nick Ashbourne break down the Blue Jays' 5-2 win over the Angels to open the three-game series in Anaheim! They take your calls and texts, and get to Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s two-run bomb off Reid Detmers early on - how important is it for him to continue to lead the way offensively? They also chat about Nathan Lukes' pinch-hit RBI single, the baserunning from Myles Straw, and 12 Ks for Dylan Cease on 110 pitches over five innings of work. Plus, they get to the bullpen usage - is Jeff Hoffman still going to be in the mix for closer going forward after slamming the door for his third save of the year? The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
