The Toronto Blue Jays need to pull a quick 180 in the ALCS after dropping game one 5-0 to the Kansas City Royals. For the second consecutive series, the Blue Jays fell flat while looking entirely unlike themselves.
Establishing any level of offense early in the game will be critical for the Jays, because as we saw last night, Kansas City wrote the book on playing baseball with a lead. Like a great boxer that lands their early blows then dances at arms length for the remainder of the fight, they seemed to lull Toronto to sleep.
They’ll be faced with solving the young and electric Yordano Ventura.
