"They led 1-0 after the first at-bat of the game when George Springer hit his 30th home run of the season on the day he turned 36-years-old. It's the first time he's reached 30 home runs as a member of the Blue Jay. The last time he went yard at least 30 times was when he blasted 39 bombs for the Houston Astros in 2019."
"And that was the highlight of the entire game for Toronto. Their starter Max Scherzer didn't get out of the first inning, giving up seven earned runs and only managing to retire two batters. Manager John Schneider and Pitching Coach Pete Walker were ejected from the game. And the Blue Jays used four guys out of their bullpen and two position players (Tyler Heineman and Isiah Kiner-Falefa) to get through what turned into an embarrassing game."
The Kansas City Royals defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 20-1 in Kansas City. George Springer hit a leadoff home run, his 30th of the season and his first 30-homer year with Toronto; his last 30-homer season was 2019 with Houston. Max Scherzer allowed seven earned runs and failed to complete the first inning, retiring just two batters. Manager John Schneider and pitching coach Pete Walker were ejected. Toronto used four relievers and two position players to finish the game. Despite the blowout, losses by the Yankees and Tigers kept Toronto's AL East magic number at five and preserved the division lead.
