Vladimir Guerrero Jr. homers as Max Scherzer and the Blue Jays beat the Cubs 2-1
TORONTO (AP) — Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a two-run homer in the seventh inning, helping Max Scherzer and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Chicago Cubs 2-1 on Thursday. Guerrero's big hit off Matthew Boyd lifted AL East-leading Toronto to the series victory. It was the 20th homer of the season for the All-Star slugger. Scherzer (3-2) pitched seven-plus innings while improving to 6-2 in 12 career starts against the Cubs. He permitted one run and five hits. Jeff Hoffman handled the ninth for his 27th save in 32 chances. Toronto improved to 40-20 at home. Boyd (11-6) allowed two hits in seven innings. He struck out five and walked one. Boyd walked Davis Schneider to begin the seventh. Ernie Clement followed with a sacrifice bunt before Guerrero lined an 0-2 pitch 402 feet to left-center. The Cubs had just one hit off Scherzer before Michael Busch went deep with one out in the sixth for his 24th homer. Promoted from Triple-A Iowa before the game, Cubs prospect Owen Caissie made his major league debut about 30 miles east of his birthplace in Burlington, Ontario. He went 0 for 4 with a strikeout. Key moment Scherzer exited after Matt Shaw's leadoff double in the eighth. Brendon Little came on and walked pinch-hitter Seiya Suzuki before both runners advanced on a wild pitch. Little departed after striking out Ian Happ and Kyle Tucker. Seranthony Domínguez fanned Carson Kelly to end the threat. Key stat The Blue Jays are a major league-best 24-12 in interleague play.
