In the ninth, Bo Bichette broke a scoreless tie in the eighth inning with a two-run single. The Blue Jays added insurance in the ninth inning with three home runs. Nathan Lukes, George Springer, and Vladimir Guerrero all went deep. It was the 18th of the season for Springer.
The Toronto Blue Jays have sole possession of the AL’s first seed, and it’s partially because of catcher Alejandro Kirk’s breakout campaign. The 26-year-old entered the contest slashing .302/.359/.408 with seven homers and 47 RBI over 87 games.
The Blue Jays continue to get it done against the best pitchers in baseball. Their belligerent plate approach paid off on Saturday against Tarik Skubal and the Tigers.
