Davis Schneider was able to play a total of 36 games for the Toronto Blue Jays last season. During those games, he showed flashes of brilliance, and it led to him getting a start on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Schneider was absent from the Blue Jays lineup in the first three outings of the season. In the Opening Day game against the Rays, the Blue Jays were able to win 8-2. However, over the next two games, the Blue Jays' bats would go on to struggle. This subsequently led to two losses in a row where the Jays were only able to score a total of three runs. John Schneider was well aware of the fact that the team needed an injection of offense, and it led to Davis Schneider getting the start today.
Schneider made the most of his appearances at bat, as he was able to get his first home run of the season. This home run came at the top of the fifth inning when the Jays were already winning by a significant margin. Moments earlier, Justin Turner had hit a home run. Needless to say, the Blue Jays are getting the offense they so desired.
"Babe Schneider: STILL hitting homers. It's his first of the season!"
