On and off the field, George Springer continues to make his impact felt for the Toronto Blue Jays. The latest example came on a bloop that turned into a triple thanks to a bit of luck and plenty of hustle. (ShiDavidi)
Their efforts led the Blue Jays to consecutive wins for the first since April 30-May 1 against Houston, clinching a series win against the Astros ahead of what turned out to be a trying 2-8 stretch. They’ve now won three of their past four games and while Berrios’ best outing of the season bodes well for both the ace righty and the club, worth noting is how crucial Springer’s presence has been through the recent difficulties.
Both Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette carry similar expectations, but they’re just 23 and 24, still developing themselves and can’t do everything as they fight through the sport’s inevitable learning curve. With few other veterans of stature on the roster, that’s meant Springer has had to not only deliver on the field, but also pour into his teammates, too.
Both he and the Blue Jays dodged trouble, however, as Springer missed one game, returned Sunday as the DH and was back in centre field for Monday’s win against the Mariners. The bases-clearing triple opened up a 3-0 lead in the second right after Berrios escaped a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the top of the frame on a sinker to Souza that induced an inning-ending double play.
