Blue Jays Struggle on Road, Vlad Jr. Sizzles

0:00It's May 1st, welcome to MLB News Today, powered by AI and ready for first pitch. The Toronto Blue Jays took a tough 7-1 loss to the Minnesota Twins in their series opener, but let's keep perspective, they were 7-3-in. Their last 10 games heading in, even while banged up with injuries. Key players like pitcher Tre Yesavage and hitter George Springer are trickling back to the roster, giving the team real momentum as they push toward. A young catcher named Brandon Balanzuela has stepped up big while Alejandro Kirk heals from a fractured thumb, hitting over 250 in his last. Seven games and looking more comfortable at the plate. Meanwhile, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is on fire, slashing 355 overall with a 417 average in the air 500 on base in the wise. Last week, barely striking out at all. That said, roadwows are glaring, they're just 4-9 away with pitching and offense-tanking outside Toronto, but they've got 3 more against.

1:02The Twins and then the Rays to flip the script before heading home.
