TORONTO – The Blue Jays may have discovered the solution to their bullpen issues: score nine runs a game.
With three hits, including his fifth home run of the season, Gurriel Jr. helped drive the Blue Jays’ offence. But don’t overlook Cavan Biggio, who walked twice while also hitting two doubles on a day his season on-base percentage climbed to .385. While his fastball averaged 93.6 m.p.h., the Rays weren’t often fooled by the right-hander, who generated eight swinging strikes on 98 total pitches. Still, the Blue Jays will take that from Berrios, especially considering he had allowed 14 earned runs over the course of his previous two starts.
