In a game against the White Sox, the Blue Jays' Danny Jansen shines with a 5-RBI performance, batting 2nd for the first time in his MLB career. Jansen's offensive prowess helps the Blue Jays secure a 9-3 victory, their first 2-game win streak of the month.
A 7-run second inning leads to a @BlueJays victory. https://t.co/oW7wYeqw8y
#Bluejays take down #WhiteSox 9-2, matching their largest margin of victory this season. They score seven in bot2, their biggest inning of the season, get their first homer of the year from the clean-up spot and break the home run jacket back out. Off to Detroit for four!
Bo Bichette makes it 7 runs in the 2nd inning for the @BlueJays 💪 https://t.co/1nZe8DInA4
Daulton Varsho follows with a two-run triple into the right field corner, then Vladdy singles him home. #Bluejays have more than twice as many hits in this inning as they had in the entire game last night. They're up 5-0 bot2. https://t.co/iF4JYoRqO1
Davis Schneider at the top of the order pays off again with a 2out 2run single to LF in bot2. Alejandro Kirk scores from second without a throw. #Bluejays out to an early 2-0 lead.
The #BlueJays open the scoring using their best strategy: Having one of Davis Schneider or Danny Jansen batting in the right spot.

The Blue Jays need more Danny Jansen (even if it’s risky) Injuries will always be a concern, but Jansen has been one of the few Jays to exceed expectations this season. #Opinion by @GregorChisholm https://t.co/81njTOjBVs

#Bluejays get a couple of runners on in bot6 on a Clement single and Jansen walk, but Vladdy flies out to RF to end the threat. 3-0 #WhiteSox to the 7st, Pop takes over for Kikuchi.
#WhiteSox open the scoring with a run in top2, just like yesterday. This time an Ernie Clement throwing error opens the door for a 2out RBI single by Nicky Lopez. Not the best throw home from Davis Schneider. #Bluejays down 1-0 to bot2.

"It's tough to find good catchers, it's even tougher to find good offensive catchers - Danny Jansen brings both those elements." @ShiDavidi weighs in on Jansen's #BlueJays future with @SNJeffBlair & Kevin Barker. #TOTHECORE 📺 https://t.co/SqK7M993Jz 📻 https://t.co/tEtiRUWyip https://t.co/S5vclRhGPI

#Bluejays open up the "soft portion" of the schedule with a resounding 9-3 win over #Whitesox, led by a terrific start from Jose Berrios and a 5RBI day by Danny Jansen, batting 2nd for the first time in his #MLB career. #Jays first 2-game win streak this month.
Make it a 5-RBI day for Danny Jansen in his first career #MLB start as the two-hitter. 2out 2run single in bot8 gives #Bluejays plenty of breathing room. They're currently squaring #Whitesox 9-3 as they head to the 9th. Erik Swanson in to try to close it out.
Danny Jansen is a ballplayer. It's about the best compliment you can give somebody who plays the game of baseball.
Danny Jansen extends the Blue Jays’ lead with a 2-run bomb. 💣 (🎥: @MLB) https://t.co/8ICaiysMpb
Danny Jansen extends the Jays’ lead with a two-run blast! https://t.co/1pOXD7wdqF
I'm just so impressed by the hitter Danny Jansen has become. He hasn't been over-coached and he's made some bold, confident decisions along the way. All credit to him. He's one of the best offensive catchers in the sport. #BlueJays https://t.co/qxk4i2vs4g
Danny Jansen pads the lead for the @BlueJays! https://t.co/FSCLPGhee4
Moving Danny Jansen up in the order pays off again as he greets reliever Jordan Leasure with a 2-run blast into #Bluejays bullpen in Deep Left Field. He also doubled in a run in bot3. #Jays on top 7-3 bot7.
Some exciting stuff from #Bluejays in bot3! Kiermaier leads off with a hustle double, goes to third on a Davis Schneider fly out to Deep Left Field, and scores as Jansen doubles to the gap in right-centre. The lead is doubled to 3-1, 1on, 1out.
Daulton Varsho homers to get the Jays on the board! https://t.co/QAjPMFWJhA
Daulton Varsho slugs his 8th homer of the year. 💪 https://t.co/Jwbb0SvsUS
Looked as though #Bluejays were about to strand a leadoff gift double, but Daulton Varsho took Fedde out to right-centre with a 105.1mph rocket - his team-leading 8th HR of the season. #Bluejays up 2-1 to the 3th.
Home run, Daulton Varsho. He leads the #BlueJays with 8 this season. Davis Schneider is next with 5. https://t.co/cJ1emgqSUW
#Whitesox try to sneak across a second run in top2 with the delayed double steal of second and home, but Davis Schneider makes a strong return throw to cut down Lee at the plate. #Bluejays down 1-0 to bot2.
Another big change to #Bluejays lineup as they open a run of 16 out of 20 against some lesser lights. Danny Jansen moves up to two. Justin Turner is back in on his 1-for-35 run. https://t.co/gzh8ZOzOlz
You may have Danny Jansen batting 2nd, as a treat. #BlueJays https://t.co/PIlHhqBekv
The #BlueJays have started Danny Jansen at DH just once this season (May 7). There’s clearly a conscious choice being made here not to run Jansen too hard… and surely he’ll pinch-hit… but he’s their best hitter right now and these are already big (big) games.
#BlueJays lineup for Sunday’s finale against the Rays. They stick with Schneider in the leadoff spot, which will get some run for a while, and Springer 6th: https://t.co/aLaSNwcjhf
Daulton Varsho drives in a pair to extend the lead for the Jays! 🔵 (📽️: @BlueJays) https://t.co/NFGeYaJRYT
#Bluejays jump on Zach Eflin in bot5 - Kiermaier 1B, Schneider 1B, Varsho 2-run 2B,Vladdy RBI 1B in the space of just six pitches. It's 4-0. One out, since Vlad got thrown out at second trying to stretch.
#BlueJays rallying, #Rays Siri just made an extremely off target throw to 3B, and and Varsho follows with a 2-run double. 3-0 lead now.
Danny Jansen has the best approach on this roster right now. He knows exactly who he is as a hitter. The #BlueJays need him in more run-producing spots.
In his first game as #Bluejays leadoff hitter with George Springer also in the lineup, Davis Schneider takes Zach Eflin's second pitch of the game and short-hops the wall in right-centre for a double.
Another new-look #BlueJays lineup with Davis Schneider back in the leadoff spot: https://t.co/ZG0P3QevZu
