Davis Schneider leads off for the Blue Jays, with George Springer not leading off for the first time this season. Schneider hits a double in his first game as leadoff. Springer contributes with an RBI single and the Blue Jays score multiple runs in the game against the Rays. The Blue Jays win 5-2, preventing a three-game Rays sweep.
George Springer got demoted from the leadoff spot on Saturday. On Sunday, he ripped an RBI double during a two-run fourth, walked twice and scored twice in a 5-2 victory that prevented a three-game Rays sweep. @ShiDavidi has the story from Toronto. https://t.co/XzHAHKgejG
Make that 11 out of 12 as Kirk doubles over the head of Randy Arozarena - to Deep Left Field - to score Springer and Vogey. 5-0 #Bluejays bot6 while Alek Manoah is pitching a 1-hitter. #RevengeGame https://t.co/t5BqchXdiA
Well, how about that? Back-to-back two-out doubles by Vogelbach and Springer, two of #Bluejays coldest hitters, double the lead to 2-0 bot4, then #Rays 3B Isaac Paredes whiffs on an IKF chopper, allowing Springer to score to make it 3-0.
Back to back doubles Vogelbach and Springer off #Rays Civale, and #BlueJays lead is 2-0. Now a ground ball that Paredes boots at 3B and it's 3-0
#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.
Out of the sixth spot, George Springer smacks a two-out RBI single up the middle to open the scoring. Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who had doubled and gone to third with some daring (?) base running, claps his hands as he crosses the plate. 1-0 #Bluejays bot4.
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.
For the first time this season, George Springer is starting but not leading off. Davis Schneider gets the top spot, as we’ve been beating the drum for for a while. The badly-struggling Turner and Springer are back-to-back hitting 5th & 6th. #Bluejays https://t.co/SEmsue9ucF
