Blue Jays looking for a turnaround their early season woes
After a strong start to the season for their first few weeks, the Blue Jays have settled into the schedule and have not fared well over the past couple of weeks.
There's six game road trip did not fare well as their record went 1-5 and only managed to score nine runs.
Many Blue Jays fans hoped the Red Sox would offer the Blue Jays offence a chance to reset and settle itself but in the opening game last night, the Blue Jays lost 10-2.
It's clear that the main issue with the Blue Jays now is it's offensive power outage as the team has been unable to score runs and hit the long ball consistently.
The team is currently at the bottom of Major League Baseball when it comes to home runs hit and RBI which has left manager John Schneider scrambling for answers an even looking to the Buffalo Bisons in Triple A to help stimulate their offense.
Game 2 in their series will take place today at 7:07 PM on April 30th as Jose Berrios will take the mound against Red Sox starter Lucas Giolito.
