(Arlington) Corey Seager and Ezequiel Duran each had four hits as the Texas Rangers beat the Toronto Blue Jays 11-7 on Sunday.
Seager drove in three runs and Duran scored three times. Rangers wiped out a 6–0 deficit en route to winning the series-clinching game.
“It’s one of our best wins, I would say, since opening,” Rangers coach Bruce Bochy said, referring to a five-point streak in an 11-7 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on March 30. They did a great job. »
Leody Taveras added three hits and three RBIs, including a fifth-inning clinching single and a seventh-inning two-run home run.
“I focus every day to do my best,” said Taveras. I try to learn something new everyday. »
Duran and Taveras were the eighth and ninth batters in a lineup that finished with 15 hits.
“They did a lot of damage with their last hitters,” admitted Blue Jays coach John Schneider. You can’t let a good attack happen like that. »
Whit Merrifield and Bo Bichette each drove in two runs for the Blue Jays as they suffered their sixth loss in nine games. George Springer hit two hits and scored two runs.
Blue Jays right-hander Chris Bassitt gave up five runs, three earned and seven hits in three innings and two-thirds.
Four Rangers relievers combined six innings and two-thirds for a single run conceded after Jon Gray struggled. John King (1-0) pitched three and a third inning hitless for the win.
