Blue Jays sweep Giants, tie home winning streak mark

Addison Barger hit a two-run home run, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and George Springer also homered Sunday afternoon and the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the visiting San Francisco Giants 8-6.

The Blue Jays swept the three-game series and extended their home winning streak to 10 games, matching the mark set in 1985.

Matt Chapman hit a two-run homer for the Giants.

The Giants scored once in the first against Jose Berrios (6-4). Jung Hoo Lee led off with a double on a shallow fly that left fielder Davis Schneider lost in the sun and then scored on Heliot Ramos's single.

Guerrero tied the game in the bottom of the inning with a homer to center on the second consecutive curve by Robbie Ray (9-4).

Toronto took the lead in the third when Bo Bichette's line drive to left soared over Ramos' head for a two-run double. It scored Ernie Clement, who doubled, and Guerrero, who walked.

The Giants scored one in the fifth after Chapman led off with an infield single to shortstop. Dominic Smith walked and Andrew Knizner grounded a one-out RBI single up the middle.

Springer answered in the bottom of the inning with a mammoth leadoff homer to left on a hanging slider to give the Blue Jays a 4-2 lead. After Bichette's one-out double, Spencer Bivens replaced Ray and allowed Alejandro Kirk's RBI single and Barger's homer to right. Ray, who struggled with command, was charged with five runs on five hits and five walks in 4 1/3 innings. He struck out three.

San Francisco scored four in the sixth. Rafael Devers lined a leadoff single to right and Chapman launched a two-out homer to right. Braydon Fisher replaced Berrios and allowed Smith's double and Brett Wisely's RBI single. After Knizner walked, Justin Bruihl took over and Lee stroked an RBI single to center and was out trying to reach second. Berrios finished with four runs allowed, eight hits and one walk with five strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings.

Toronto responded with a run in the bottom of the sixth on Springer's two-out double against Bivens and Guerrero's single against Tyler Rogers.

Yariel Rodriguez pitched a perfect ninth to earn his second save.
