## Resource

The Blue Jays finally broke their slump with a gritty 9-3 win, sparked by Jonatan Clase’s monster three-run homer in the second inning. Hitting coach David Popkins pushed the team to stop being defensive and just swing for the fences — and they listened. He’s been the calm in the storm, keeping morale high despite the pressure, reminding them that baseball’s tough grind is temporary. This win isn’t the full turnaround yet, but it’s a vital spark — a reminder that when the team plays loose and trusts the process, magic can happen.
