Teoscar Hernandez Can’t Return Soon Enough: Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker start off breaking down the Blue Jays' loss 6-5 to the Cleveland Guardians where Jose Berrios only lasted 4.2 innings without a strikeout. They assess Berrios’ start and inconsistency so far this season, the continued struggles at the plate with runners in scoring position, and if George Springer’s rest day should have waited until Teoscar Hernandez returned to the lineup from injury. Afterwards, they discuss the latest around the Majors: the Mets' epic ninth inning comeback, if the Phillies are wasting another year of Bryce Harper’s production, and what's next for Joey Votto and the scuffling Cincinnati Reds (28:13).
