(Toronto) Cal Raleigh hit a two-run homer in 10e inning and the Seattle Mariners snapped the Toronto Blue Jays’ six-game winning streak with a 10-8 victory on Sunday, avoiding the sweep.
The Mariners (12-16) also snapped a four-game losing streak with a win over the Blue Jays (18-10), who were playing in front of 40,158 at Rogers Centre.
“Anybody can have a bad day at some point,” Blue Jays manager John Schneider said. Today we missed a few chances and some shot choices could have been different. »
Raleigh’s long ball in the extra inning was hit against reliever Zach Pop (1-1), after an out. It was his second home run of the meet.
Paul Sewald (2-0) got the win. In relief, Matt Brash gave a single to George Springer of the Blue Jays on the 14the of the team, but he recovered for his first save of the year.
Back off the injured list with a broken right hand suffered in training camp, Taylor Trammell achieved her first career grand slam.
Mariners starting pitcher Marco Gonzales completed three innings of work. Leading 4-0, he allowed a two-run double to Matt Chapman in the first inning and a three-run long ball to Bo Bichette the next inning.
The Bichette circuit, his sixth of the season, reached 460 feet. The Blue Jays scored three more runs in the third inning. The Blue Jays led 8-4 before the Mariners came back into the game and won in 10e sleeve.
“We lost a lot of those close games and things didn’t go our way,” Mariners player JP Crawford said. However, it is a circle and things will turn around. »
