Toronto took the first game of this series 10-6 last night. George Springer’s grand slam in the top of the eighth inning proved to be the difference in the game. The blast was one of fourteen hits for the Jays on the night. Lane Thomas ripped a three-run shot for the Guardians in the loss.

In their first game back from a West Coast trip, the Cleveland Guardians were forced to play catch up all night against the Toronto Blue Jays.
