DUNEDIN, FLA. -
It was just the second pitch of the ball game but arguably one of the most important of the spring for the Blue Jays infield.
Second baseman Devon Travis, making his first big-league appearance at the position since Game 1 of the 2016 ALCS, veered to his left, scooped a Brock Holt grounder and made the easy out at first.
Fast forward to the third inning and it was Josh Donaldson’s turn. Dropping to one knee, the Jays third basemen deftly back-handed a Bryce Brentz grounder, planted firmly and fired off to first.
