Blue Jays Talk

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 2-1 win vs. the Marlins to take the series in Toronto! They take your calls and texts, and discuss the Jays taking care of the basepaths, as Tyler Heineman, Ernie Clement, and Andrés Giménez combined to mow down a number of Marlins runners - was that a result of a concerted effort to clean things up? They also get into Eury Pérez vs. the Jays dugout, the start from Kevin Gausman, Kazuma Okamoto blasting his 11th home run of the year, Nathan Lukes looking great, and the bullpen locking things down late. Plus, we hear post-game availabilities from John Schneider and Kevin Gausman themselves.
