TORONTO — With all eyes currently on the young Toronto Blue Jays auditioning for 2025 roster spots, shortstop Leo Jimenez has moved to the forefront recently.
His two-run blast in the fifth inning was part of a five-homer 10-3 win for the Blue Jays against the Cincinnati Reds before 34,662 at Rogers Centre on Tuesday.
Jimenez admitted his frustration with balls and strikes not being called the way he saw the pitches was getting to him. As a result, he expanded his hitting zone. "They show up, they work, and they're getting results," Toronto starter Jose Berrios said of his young teammates like Jimenez. Springer smacked a two-run homer to left in the second inning and added his 16th with a solo shot in the fifth.
"It's great and you kind of have a little fun," Toronto manager John Schneider said."It gets a little contagious. But George's first one, obviously, really kind of turned the game a little bit there. And Leo, Spence, Kirky, all good swings.""That'd be great," Schneider said."A guy like Spence and Leo kind of tapping into some power a little bit.The Blue Jays snatched a 1-0 lead in the first inning.
