“It’s cool to hit a homer but to manufacture runs in a lot of other ways — walks, hits, a bunt tonight — is huge for us,” Springer said. “This is a hard league. The more you’re able to do, the better.” “They’re supporting one another,” said Toronto manager John Schneider. “It started early in spring training and we’ve kind of been through it the first two weeks. These guys are hungry to do it.Toronto blasted five homers in a 9-3 win over the Tigers on Tuesday at Rogers Centre.

Left-hander Chasen Shreve came on to face Whit Merrifield, who drove in Guerrero with a sacrifice fly. Chapman tied the game when he came home on pinch-hitter Alejandro Kirk’s flyout. Nick Maton and Kerry Carpenter hit homers for Detroit. Maton went deep in the fourth inning and Carpenter hit a two-run shot in the seventh.Gausman had 11 strikeouts and allowed three earned runs and five hits.Chapman, who’s hitting a whopping .489 this season, doubled and singled for the Blue Jays.
