Barley Risotto and Kimchi: A Culinary Crossroads| SaltWire #food #cookingshorts #kimchiST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — It was a 450-foot thing of Vlad Guerrero Jr. bombing beauty that was the show stopper in what had to feel like a large opening day win for the Blue Jays here at Tropicana Field on Thursday afternoon.

Leadoff hitter George Springer got things started with a solo shot to lead off the fourth — after Eflin had retired each of the nine Jays hitters he’d faced. Cavan Biggio, yes, that would be the No. 9 hitter, hit one out to give the Jays their first lead of the game with one out in the sixth, two batters before Guerrero delivered his rather loud message.

“Everybody has the same goal in spring training,” Guerrero said following an off-day workout at the Trop on Wednesday. “We know we went to the playoffs five times in three years and it didn’t end up the way we wanted. That hurts. We all know that.” Beyond the homers, Schneider also had to be pleased with his offence’s ability to pile on runs, a killer instinct that often felt extinct last season. Two solo homers in the sixth were nice and all, but they added three more runs in the frame and two more in the seventh on a Bo Bichette double.
