Blue Jays’ Danny Jansen makes noise at Futures Game

Both Danny Jansen and Bo Bichette represented the Toronto Blue Jays on Team USA as the Americans defeated the World Futures 10-6 in a back and forth affair. The much-anticipated contest was expected to be a pitchers duel however that was not the case as both teams struck for a combined eight round-trippers.

Danny Jansen had two plate appearances and batted seventh while starting the game behind the dish for Team USA. The 23-year old fanned in his first at-bat as Jesus Luzardo got the better of him. However, the young backstop got his revenge in the 4th inning when southpaw Lewis Thorpe entered the game.
