The Toronto Blue Jays succeeded in escaping their losing streak thanks to a two-hit collaboration.

It was a game dominated by the mound. Starting pitcher Jose Berrios earned his 11th win (10th loss) of the season with a comeback pitch in 7 innings, allowing 5 hits, no walks, 8 strikeouts, and no runs. The bullpen that followed also led the team to victory by allowing no runs. Jordan Hicks (10 holds) and Jordan Romano (35 saves) both recorded one inning of no runs.
A decisive blow occurred in the batting lineup.
It was the bottom of the third inning, tied 0-0. Toronto did not miss a single opportunity they had. Alejandro Kirk, who was the leadoff hitter, hit a double to create an opportunity. Dalton Basho then hit a grounder to shortstop to catch the lead runner, and even George Springer retired with a fly ball to right field.
However, Bo Bichette changed the mood by walking and getting on base. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. caught opposing starter Brian Bello’s first pitch, a 96.6 mph four-seam fastball, and went over the left wall. This is Three Run Arch from Season 23. This home run gave Toronto a 3-0 lead.
Toronto’s leadoff hitter Guerrero Jr. hit a single in the sixth inning, but the next three batters all struck out and missed the opportunity.
Afterwards, in the inning, everyone retired due to a three-way failure and was unable to put any effort into the attack.
Toronto’s batting lineup had only 4 hits, but Guerrero Jr.’s one hit gave them a 3-0 victory.
With this win, Toronto escaped its four-game losing streak. With a record of 81 wins and 67 losses, the gap with Texas narrowed to 1.5 games.
There are 17 games remaining. It’s not over yet. The wild card competition begins now.
