A tough way to end their series in Minnesota as the Toronto Blue Jays come up short losing 4-3. On this episode of Three Up, Three Down, Rob Wong gives his thoughts on the red-hot Kazuma Okamoto, Tyler Heineman being pulled midway through the game by manager John Schneider, what it could mean for the backup catcher job between Heineman and Brandon Valenzuela, and why Jose Berrios’ rough rehab start makes things interesting.

In this episode:

(0:00) Intro

(00:30) OkamOHMYGOD: Kazuma Okamoto can’t stop hitting home runs as he belts four in the series against Minnesota.

(03:54) Who Is The True Backup Catcher?: With Tyler Heineman getting pulled for Brandon Valenzuela on Sunday, are Valenzuela’s chances of sticking with the ballclub when Alejandro Kirk returns improving?

(11:02) No Way Jose: Jose Berrios gets rocked in his rehab outing. If and when he returns, who will be the odd man out? Patrick Corbin, Joe Mantiply or someone else?
