The Blue Jays have had a lot of surprise contributions lately, which has been a welcome change from the frustrating start to the season. Take Friday night’s game for example, as Darwin Barney, Ryan Goins, Kevin Pillar and Ezequiel Carrera each contributed a pair of hits for the Jays on route to a 4-0 victory. While each is talented in their own right, they aren’t the names Blue Jays fans expect to be leading them to victory.
With All-Stars Josh Donaldson, Troy Tulowitzki, Russell Martin and Kendrys Morales each on the sidelines, the Jays have thrived with their second unit slotting into the lineup each night.
