The series sweep was their eighth of the season. Toronto's José Berríos (6-4) allowed four runs and eight hits in 5 2/3 innings and won for the fourth time in six starts. Yariel Rodríguez finished for his second save in three chances. Springer's homer was his team-leading 17th. Barger's was his 14th.

The left-hander matched a season-high with five walks. San Francisco's Matt Chapman had two hits including a two-run homer, his 13th.
