Summary
Sho Alli and Nick Ashbourne break down the Blue Jays' 2-0 win vs. the Mariners in the series opener down in Seattle! They take your calls and texts, and get right to Dylan Cease striking out nine over seven innings of work - how important was it for him to bounce back with the dominant effort? They get into Jeff Hoffman and Louis Varland - with Hoffman continuing to look good over the last month, where does he stand vs. Tyler Rogers in the late-game pecking order? Is Varland the best reliever in the AL? Plus, they take a look at the division race so far, and discuss what the Jays need out of this west coast road trip before the All-Star Break.
