Vladdy Jr. Goes Yard, Jays Thump Angels in Anaheim

4/21/202653 min

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?

Uh, Dylan Cease struck out 12 over five innings of work. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. with a moonshot to center field. Nathan Lucas came off the bench for another great result. Some great base running tonight as well. The bullpen was electric, which I'm sure we'll get to. A 5-2 Blue Jays win. They improve to 9 and 13 with a chance to win the series later tonight.
