00:00Bovichette will be next after Springer.

00:04Springer took a fastball upstairs for

00:06ball one and a base hit to left field.

00:09A no-doubt shot in the left his first hit as a Blue Jay.

00:14That's another hit for Springer.

00:17His average over 400 against the Braves and he's off to a good start tonight.

00:22Good job by the Blue Jays moving the game.

00:25There goes Springer.

00:26Cut on and missed Guerrero.

00:29He strikes out.

00:32Springer picks up a stolen base.

00:39Line right to Bichette.

00:40They'll go to second and double up.

00:43Darnell.

00:44Defense is on their toes early on.

00:46Another result of throwing a lot of strikes.

00:48Robbie Ray has his defenders keen on their toes.

00:52The double play gets them out of the inning and erases that double.

00:56Bovichette lined up perfectly.

00:58Simeon hustles to the back.

01:01So Springer's at first with one out.

01:03Here's Bovichette.

01:05Oh, drives it deep to center and this one's gonna go.

01:09Ball home run over the seats in right center.

01:12And Bovichette connects for his seventh home run of the season.

01:16And the Blue Jays jump out to a two-nothing lead.

01:19Boy, that was a no-doubter the other way.

01:22I told you Drew Smiley's problems this year has been giving up the home runs.

01:26He's given up six and fifteen innings coming into this game.

01:31Well, we have talked about the top of this lineup for the Blue Jays and how explosive it can be.

01:38You make a mistake.

01:39That's a little 89-mile-an-hour cutter that comes right over the plate.

01:43But Shet recognizes it.

01:45Look how short he is to the ball and drives that ball the other way.

01:49That's one thing his father was telling us the other day that they're, you know,

01:53Bo does a good job of keeping that bat on plane and driving through that baseball.

01:58That allows you to do what you see right there, driving the ball the other way that far.

02:04Alejandro's got to say they don't want to walk me.

02:08They don't want to face Springer.

02:10So I'd give him a green light right here knowing he's going to get a fastball.

02:14See if you can do some damage.

02:17He got a green light.

02:20Get up, Bo.

02:21Get out of here.

02:22He's gone.

02:23Good call, Tammy.

02:25That's real green light, and he hammered that fastball.

02:30How about the confidence that Charlie Montoyo gives his young catcher in that situation?

02:38Little things like that can go a long way for a young player.

02:42Hey, my manager has given me the green light, 3-0.

02:45Let me reward him, and he does.

02:48That can go a long way for the confidence, and he's got a big smile on his face.

02:52You know what makes Alejandro Kirk have the ability to be a pretty good hitter is how short his swing is.

03:00Watch this fastball.

03:03It's out over the plate, and he just takes that bat right to the baseball.

03:08High fastball, and he tomahawks that thing out of here.

03:11Watch where this thing goes.

03:13Way out of here, out of the ballpark.

03:16You see he's pumping that fastball in there through four innings, 67% fastballs.

03:26There's a little dribbler up the third baseline.

03:28Espinal with a terrific play.

03:31Oh, my.

03:33Santiago Espinal.

03:34Pat, you pointed it out.

03:35It is challenging to be an extra guy and then come in and have to start a game.

03:40What a play he made.

03:41But he stays sharp by practicing.

03:44This is a tough play against a runner who can run, and he makes it look easy with the bare hand and throw all in one motion.

03:52You see how he keeps his body moving, recognizes the play in front of him.

03:59Bottom half of the fifth down in Florida.

04:01Drew Smiley back to work.

04:03There's a long drive.

04:04You can forget about this one.

04:06It's staying in the yard.

04:09It's in the schoolyard.

04:12Yeah, it's not in the ballpark yard.

04:14It's in the schoolyard.

04:15That was a lazy breaking ball that Randall Gritchick was all over.

04:20We were talking before the game about lazy breaking balls, hanging breaking balls, and those things aren't coming back.

04:26The next ball you're going to touch if you're the pitcher is the one being thrown back to you from the umpire.

04:31And Randall hit that one like you're supposed to when you make a mistake.

04:36That'll bring up Alejandro Kirk with a runner in scoring position.

04:40There's a deep drive to center.

04:42He's gone deep again.

04:44High off the backdrop in center.

04:47I know Kirk's first multi home run game of his young career.

04:53He smoked that one.

04:55Here it is.

04:56Fastball right down the middle.

04:59He measured that first pitch.

05:01He understood what the fastball was going to do.

05:03And then when he threw him another one.

05:05That one's not coming back either.

05:08Now Hernandez admitted to us today, I'm not going to get the timing I want in a couple of days at the plate.

05:14But Bucky feels he's ready enough after six days at the alternate site.

05:18A deep drive and it can help with another home run.

05:24God dead center for Teosca.

05:26Welcome back to.

05:35Well he saw the fastball that Bichette hit.

05:37And he hit it hard.

05:38Guerrero got some fastballs.

05:39So he said, I'm going to go look for a fastball right here.

05:42And a good major league hitter can turn around a 94 mile an hour fastball.

05:48Well that's right in the wheelhouse.

05:50And it got out of here quick.

05:56Top of the seventh inning.

05:5710 nothing.

05:58Blue Jays.

05:59Robbie Ray has retired 13 in a row.

06:02That ball is launched deep toward left center field.

06:05That ball is gone off the scoreboard.

06:10There's a long ball right handed for Ozzie Albies.

06:12That was good at bat.

06:13Caught off a couple of nasty pitches.

06:15That spoils the shutout bid for Robbie Ray.

06:18A fight for the souvenir.

06:21Yeah it was a fastball in.

06:23Trying to go hands or maybe above and didn't quite get it there.

06:29About belt high in.

06:31No need to bring everybody in.

06:36You know to get the runner.

06:37They're trying to get outs right now.

06:40Not going to get one just yet.

06:42Kirk comes in to score.

06:43They'll stop Springer at third as Guerrero gets his first hit of the night.

06:52Right back where it came from.

06:54Off the pitcher's back hip.

06:56And Guerrero can't make the play.

06:58Adrianza's going to come home and score.

07:00Let's see if Barack he's all right.

07:03Hit him in the hip or the wallet pocket.

07:05And everybody's safe for Atlanta to make it twelve to three.

07:12There's a shot in the left field.

07:14A base hit.

07:15One run scores.

07:16Acuna streaking around third.

07:17Here comes the throw to the plate.

07:18It's high.

07:19And Acuna comes flying home.

07:21Ozuna's bats coming to life.

07:22Give him two RBI's.

07:24Yeah.

07:25Fastball center cut.

07:26Graves creeping a little closer.

07:30Just keep the line moving.

07:42High flying ball to left field.

07:45This one's got a chance.

07:46This one's got to get up and this one is gone.

07:49Curtis Gurriel Junior with his third hit of the night.

07:54That's six homers for the Blue Jays tonight.

08:00Another one two pitch.

08:02Hard to the shortstop.

08:04The chef goes down and one knee across the diamond in time and the Blue Jays win it.

08:09It was all about the offense.

08:11Robbie Ray did his job.

08:12Went six and two thirds but the hitters carried the night.
