Fiery, indeed.
Toronto's made it clear they intend to bat Yuli Gurriel Jr. and Vlad Guerrero Jr. back-to-back in the three and four spots this year, taking advantage of the hitters' similar approaches, and the fact that big league pitchers have seemed willing to attack them in identical fashion, one after another.
Trent Thornton will be on the mound for this one, ready to build on his solid rookie season in the rough-and-tumble AL East.
Game day at Steinbrenner Field.
