Erni Clement hit a three-run homer and Jose Berrios threw an effective innings of 5 1/3 as Toronto Blue Jais kicked six-market homestand on Tuesday with a 5–1 win over Chicago cub.
Along with Dolton Varsho and Ty France, riding in the fourth innings, Clement replaced the first pitch slider of Xavier Assad for his ninth homer in the season.
Varsho added a single shot in the eighth innings for his 12th Homer of the Year.
Vladimir Gurero Junior made three hits for Blue Jais, which improved his American League-Best Record to 70–50. Toronto also owns the best home record in AL at 39-19.
Berios (9–4) struggled several times with control-but still issued four walks-but still kept the cub (67-51) in the check. He kept him for two hits and did not leave a run.
The right-handed batsman survived a base-loaded jam by a fan of one of the three strikes at night, one of the three strikes at night.
Asad (0–1), the 60-day injured before the game was restored from the injured list, allowing four earned runs and eight hits in four innings. He had two strikes and a walk.
The cub scored his lonely run in the seventh innings, when Michael Bush went with a single in Dansbi Swanson. Chicago loaded the hideouts before Brandon Little ended the threat to Pete Crow-Armestrong.
Mason Fluharyti, Tommy Nane, Louis Varaland and Jeff Hoffman also worked in relief for Blue Jais in front of the 43,003 sales crowd.
Toronto Othit Chicago 12-4. It took two hours 43 minutes to play the game.
