Catcher Danny Jansen is trying to step up for the Blue Jays as Toronto inches toward home-field advantage in the American League wild-card series.
Jansen was a triple short of hitting for the cycle to lead the Blue Jays to a 10-0 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Saturday afternoon. It was Toronto's second lopsided win over Boston in as many days after a 9-0 victory the night before.
"We're fighting for the wins," said Hernandez. "Now that we're getting close to the post-season, we're just trying to get in the best performance that we can." "I don't think I've ever been asked to be a starter for this long of a time," said Stripling. "As I approached a workload that I've never had before, I'm still really happy with the way I feel.
Jansen struck again the next inning, sending a double down the first-base line to score Hernandez and Tapia.
