## Resource

Sho Alli and Nick Ashbourne break down the Blue Jays' 4-3 win vs. the Yankees to even the series at one game apiece in New York! They take your calls and texts, and get to Nathan Lukes, who had a pinch-hit RBI single and a solo shot that stood up as the game-winner - should he be considered an everyday player at this point? They get into Louis Varland, who rescued this game in the ninth inning for his 29th save of the season, and also chat about Dylan Cease, who struck out eight over 6.2 IP - despite the walks, how important was Cease's ability to battle out of tight spots? Plus, they discuss the return of Vladimir Guerrero Jr. from the IL, and chat Charles McAdoo continuing to impress.
