TORONTO — Ramon Laureano drove in three runs, including a two-run homer, to pace the Cleveland Guardians in their 5-2 victory against the Toronto Blue Jays in the series opener on Friday.
Canadian Bo Naylor also helped the visitors by homering in his first at-bat at Rogers Centre as the Blue Jays dropped their third game in a row before 40,755.
Laureano smacked his two-run shot to right-centre field with two out in the fourth inning after Oscar Gonzalez reached base on an infield hit. Cleveland's four runs came off Toronto starter Chris Bassitt . He lasted 5 ⅔ innings with seven hits, five strikeouts and two walks, including an intentional walk to Jose Ramirez in the fifth inning.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. socked his 18th homer with one out in the sixth inning. After Guerrero's homer, the following seven Blue Jays batters went down in order, and Andres Gimenez restored the Guardians' three-run lead with a solo shot to right in the eighth inning.
