Addison Barger's first stint in Major League Baseball was a disappointment. His second — granted, just one game so far — is already better.

When veteran designated hitter Daniel Vogelbach was designated for assignment on Friday, Barger was recalled from Buffalo. Relief pitcher Trevor Richards was Toronto's "opener," allowing just a hit and getting one strikeout over 2 1/3 innings as the Blue Jays still haven't found a fifth starter to replace Alek Manoah.
Shortstop Brayan Rocchio said Cleveland's offence was stymied by seeing so many different Toronto pitchers. Justin Turner opened the second inning with a walk and Varsho put runners in scoring position with a double. Springer's basehit scored Turner and advanced Varsho. Barger then hit a no-out single to centre to cash in Varsho.
Toronto added another run in the fourth when Kiner-Falefa's single to centre field scored Springer from second. Kiner-Falefa made a rare appearance at shortstop as all-star Bo Bichette took the day off to rest a sore right calf.
