Blue Jays tie club record by winning their 10th home game in a row as Yankees come to town
While their pitching was a bit spotty, the Blue Jays' offence was spot on, the main reason why disaster was averted and why Toronto would win its 10th straight home game to tie a franchise record. Article content The stage is now set for a three-game series against the visiting New York Yankees that begins Monday night in what promises to be yet another epic matchup with the Bronx Bombers. Article content Article content Article content On a sun-baked Sunday, the Jays led the San Francisco Giants 7-2, but would hold on for an 8-6 win. Article content The following are three takeaways on a day the Blue Jays earned their third successive series sweep at home, a day when the AL East leaders hit three home runs to run their overall record to 58-41. Article content 1. Berrios exposed Article content Once they returned from the all-star break, the Jays quickly turned the page from a tough stretch that saw them lose three of four entering the summer slumber. Article content A big reason can be traced to the starting pitching. Article content Chris Bassitt set the tone in Friday night's series opener. Article content On Saturday, Eric Lauer pitched even better than Bassitt. Article content Jose Berrios had a tough act to follow, in other words, when he started the series finale. Article content A couple of double plays in the first three innings certainly helped, but Berrios did face a threat in the fifth inning when he had runners at first and second with none out after he gave up a walk, the first time this series a Toronto pitcher had issued a free pass. Article content Article content On the 19th pitch of the inning, Berrios recorded the first out on an infield fly rule, no less. Article content Berrios, simply put, was losing his effectiveness as the Giants forced the right-hander to elevate his pitch count. Article content A big strikeout would end the inning, thus avoiding Rafael Devers, if the Jays even wanted such a matchup, which didn't seem likely. Article content When Berrios began the sixth, he had a 7-2 lead and promptly gave up a single to Devers. Article content After Berrios gave up a two-out, two-run bomb to Matt Chapman, a pitching change was made. Article content Berrios wasn't as good as Bassitt or Lauer and he needs to be better. Article content He was fortunate to be supported by an offence that would record a four-run inning for the third game in a row. Article content 2. Ray day Article content He won a Cy Young Award with the Blue Jays in 2021 and endeared himself to many with his competitive edge and loud grunts, while turning heads with his tight pants. Article content When last seen on the mound in Toronto, the left-hander pitched for the Seattle Mariners in Game 2 of the 2022 wild card.
