Brandon Belt smashed a three-run home run as the Blue Jays topped the visiting New York Yankees 6-0 on Thursday as Toronto took a step toward clinching a post-season berth.
Biggio and Alejandro Kirk had back-to-back singles in the second inning for the Blue Jays. It was the first time Toronto had consecutive hits since the ninth inning of Sunday's 3-2 win over the Boston Red Sox.Although the Blue Jays couldn't capitalize on Biggio and Kirk's hits, they finally broke their 20-inning scoring drought when Varsho led off the third with a home run. His 19th of the season came on an 89 m.p.h. cutter from Weaver, flying 380 feet to deep right field.
Chapman rewarded Bassitt's fine pitching in the bottom of the fourth, keeping his 16th home run of the season inside the right-foul netting for a 2-0 Toronto lead. The solo shot travelled 346 feet on a 93.2 m.p.h. four-seam fastball from Weaver.The Blue Jays tacked on another run in the fifth. Bo Bichette singled and then stole second with two outs. Biggio's basehit dropped into shallow centre field with the all-star shortstop crossing the plate standing up.
McAllister got two strikes on the veteran designated hitter, but Belt made no mistake on the third pitch. He launched a 92.2 m.p.h. sinker 409 feet to deep right field, giving the Blue Jays a commanding 6-0 lead. Sportsnet's radio crew is on site for home games at Rogers Centre but the network has used pandemic-style remote coverage for road games this season."The radio team will travel for post-season — Ben Wagner on play-by-play alongside analyst Chris Leroux," Sportsnet spokesperson Jason Jackson said in an email.The network used remote coverage in 2022 before shifting back to in-person road broadcasts for most of the second half of last season.
