Blue Jays beat Giants 8-6, complete series sweep and match franchise record of 10 straight home wins
Addison Barger hit a two-run home run, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and George Springer added hit solo shots and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the San Francisco Giants 8-6 on Sunday to complete a three-game sweep and match a franchise record with their 10th consecutive home win. Toronto also won 10 straight at home July 21-August 3, 1985. Toronto's current streak began with a four-game series sweep of the Yankees from June 30 to July 3, overtaking New York for the AL East lead. The Blue Jays followed that with a three-game sweep of the Los Angeles Angels. The Yankees and Blue Jays open a three-game series in Toronto on Monday. Since a three-game sweep of San Diego in late May, the Blue Jays have won 22 of 26 at home. Guerrero reached base three times and drove in two as Toronto improved to 12-3 in July. 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. Guerrero erased a 1-0 deficit with a 420-foot drive off Robbie Ray in the first inning, his 13th. Ray (9-4) allowed five runs and five hits in 4 1/3 innings. 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. Barger hit a second-deck drive off Spencer Bivens in the fifth, a four-run inning that began with Springer connecting off former Toronto teammate Ray. The Blue Jays are 21-7 when they hit two or more homers. Giants: RHP Hayden Birdsong (4-3, 4.11 ERA) is scheduled to start at Atlanta on Monday against Braves RHP Bryce Elder (3-6, 5.65). Blue Jays: RHP Kevin Gausman (6-7, 4,19 ERA) is scheduled to start Monday against Yankees LHP Carlos Rodon (10-6, 3.08).

Blue Jays' Guerrero Jr., Kirk, soak up MLB All-Star Game history
Toronto Blue Jays Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Alejandro Kirk were a part of Major League Baseball All-Star Game history on Tuesday night at Truist Park in Atlanta. Tied 6-6 after nine innings, the National League beat the Blue Jays and their fellow American League stars 4-3 in the first-ever home run swing-off as MVP Kyle Schwarber of the Philadelphia Phillies hit three home runs to give the NL the deciding edge. Guerrero Jr., who started at first base for the American League, went 1-for-2 at the plate in his fifth All-Star game appearance. He was struck out by Los Angeles Dodgers veteran Clayton Kershaw in the second inning, then hit a line-drive single to centre-field in the fourth inning off of New York Mets pitcher David Peterson. Kirk replaced Seattle Mariners' starting catcher Cal Raleigh — who won the Home Run Derby on Monday — in the bottom of the sixth inning with the National League ahead 2-0. He watched Pete Alonso of the Mets launch a three-run homer, then Corbin Carroll of the Arizona Diamondbacks hit a solo shot to make it 6-0. Kirk led off the top off the seventh with a line-drive single to centre-field off of San Diego Padres' pitcher Adrian Morejon, then came around to score when Brent Rooker of the Athletics connected for a three-run homer, slicing the American League's deficit to 6-4. Kirk flied out to right field in the top of the eighth off of pitcher Jacob Misiorowski of the Milwaukee Brewers. Freddie Freeman of the Los Angeles Dodgers, who played 12 seasons for Atlanta, received a standing ovation when introduced as the National League's starting first baseman. Freeman, whose parents Fredrick and Rosemary, are both from Ontario but moved the California because of work commitments, hit a ground ball to third and was thrown out at first in his only appearance at the plate. He came out of the game in the third inning. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays, take a 55-41 record into the post-break schedule. Toronto leads the American League East by two games over the New York Yankees and three over the surging Boston Red Sox — who have won 10 games in a row. The Blue Jays, who are 9-3 in July, host a three-game series against the San Francisco Giants starting Friday, then entertain the Yankees for a three-game series starting Monday.
