The Return of Captain Kirk: Jays Thump Yankees to Open Series
6/13/202629 min
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?

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.

And then, uh, man, his contributions at the plate, that, uh, two-out double in the first inning, followed up by that massive, massive home run for Okamoto. That's only the second time this year the Jays have managed to score at least three runs in the first inning, and, uh, from that point on, you know, Trey Savich, uh, wasn't getting much action and much love, I should say, with his splitter
