Teoscar Hernández had a three-run blast and scored the game-winning run as the Toronto Blue Jays rallied for a raucous 10-8 win over the Texas Rangers on Friday.
It was the first time the Blue Jays had hosted a home opener at Rogers Centre since 2019 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Jon Gray struck out four but allowed three runs over four innings for the Rangers. Dennis Santana, one of four Texas relievers, took the loss. Bichette's cohort got the full experience on Friday with a crowd of 45,022 at Rogers Centre, the first sellout at Toronto's ballpark since March 29, 2018. Berríos's struggles didn't end there, with a wild pitch to Mitch Garver scoring Semien. Nathaniel Lowe singled in the next at-bat to push Corey Seager across home for a 3-0 Rangers lead.
Saucedo got two quick outs to start the second inning but Seager doubled off the outfield wall and then Garver sailed a pitch into the second deck to give Texas a 6-0 lead.
