TORONTO — Jose Berrios threw 6 2/3 shutout innings and Davis Schneider drove in two runs as the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Seattle Mariners 5-2 on Monday night in their home opener at Rogers Centre.
Berrios allowed a walk, four hits and had six strikeouts as Toronto improved to 5-6 in front of a sellout crowd of 40,069.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. legged out an infield single in the bottom half of the inning and moved to third on a Bo Bichette double that just missed clearing the fence in centre field. France tested Kiermaier's arm on a single by Dominic Calzone and the veteran outfielder threw a strike to Kiner-Falefa, but the Toronto third baseman didn't lower his glove right away for the tag and the out call was overturned on review.Castillo was pulled after five innings. He gave up four earned runs, nine hits, a walk and had six strikeouts.
The Blue Jays tacked on an insurance run in the eighth inning when Kiner-Falefa sliced a single that brought home pinch-runner Daulton Varsho.The lower bowl at Rogers Centre was upgraded over the off-season as part of a multi-stage project to turn the stadium from a multi-use facility into more of a baseball-specific venue.
