Blue Jays reload for Bronx Bombers after turning a corner against the Rockies

Blue Jays reload for Bronx Bombers after turning a corner against the Rockies

The bearded redhead gave the Jays the lead with a two-out RBI single in the first, then added an RBI double in the third and another run-scoring safety in the fifth. The Jays have scored at least four runs in six of their last eight games, after having done it only twice in the first eight. After successfully treading water through the toughest 10 per cent of the season — 13 of their first 16 games were against projected playoff teams — they will welcome not only the New York Yankees to town starting Monday to complete their first homestand, but also three important components back to the active roster. Jansen, who could be in the lineup Monday, went 1-for-2 at Triple-A Buffalo Sunday while catching three innings, after being behind the plate for seven innings both Thursday and Saturday.
