Blue Jays Surge Amid Lineup Shuffle | MLB News

The Blue Jays are on fire, chasing their seventh straight series win with a vengeance after a brutal offensive explosion against the Rays. Down 7-1 earlier this week, they clawed back but fell short by one run — and now they’re still alive to take the series today with Shane Bieber on the mound and the bats finally waking up. Catcher Alejandro Kirk is leading the charge, hitting five for eleven with five RBIs and firmly cementing his spot at the top of the lineup. A slight lineup shuffle occurs due to a lefty starter, moving Nathan Lukes down and benching Brett Bateman (hamstring tightness, MRI pending). Facing a brutal stretch against the Red Sox, Yankees, and Rays, the Jays know staying in the wild-card race hinges on grinding out wins one game at a time — starting now.
