<p>The lineup change may have been just what the Blue Jays needed.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Skyrocketing Danny Jansen up the lineup and George Springer to the six-spot played key parts in the Blue Jays&#8217; series-opening win over the Chicago White Sox on Monday night.</p>
<div id="2110" class="bam-inline-promotion-block"></div>
<p>Jansen went 3-for-5 at the plate, driving in five runs and was a key part of the 9-3 win. Now, a day later, the lineup will largely stay the same for Game 2 of the three-game series. The only shift for the Jays will be Kevin Kiermaier coming out of the lineup and Ernie Clement coming in, and that&#8217;s because of who the Jays are squaring up against tonight: lefty reliever to starter Garrett Crochet.</p>
<p>While none of the Jays starters have faced off against Crochet in the past, a number of Jays have mashed against lefties this season. In fact, all of Daulton Varsho, Ernie Clement, Justin Turner, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Jansen and Davis Schneider have posted a wRC+ greater than 132. That should bode well for the Jays, but it won&#8217;t be easy.</p>
<p>Crochet has been tremendous to start the year, with his xERA and FIP both greater than his actual ERA and a 12.2 K/9 that sits tops in the big leagues. Let&#8217;s see what they can muster up.</p>
