The Blue Jays are looking to bounce back after one of their toughest losses of the season, a 13-3 loss to the Baltimore Orioles that dropped Toronto to 30-34 on the year.
On episode 9 of Flight Deck, Nick Paleolog breaks down what went wrong after the Blue Jays carried a 3-1 lead into the sixth inning before Baltimore's offence exploded. We discuss the rookie's recent challenges, why Baltimore seems to have found success against him, and what it means moving forward.
Looking ahead, we preview today's matchup between Braydon Fisher and Kyle Bradish. Can the Blue Jays make the necessary adjustments after Bradish shut them down less than a week ago? Can Toronto find a way to build momentum before a difficult stretch that includes series against the Phillies, Yankees, Red Sox, and Cubs?
We also discuss Daulton Varsho's injury status after he exited Friday's game with wrist inflammation, Max Scherzer's successful final rehab outing with Buffalo, and a remarkable rookie home run statistic that has become one of the few bright spots in Toronto's season.
We close with Nick's daily picks presented by bet365. We're LIVE every game day one hour before first pitch right here on the Blue Jays Nation YouTube channel and on Instagram @BlueJaysNation.
