George Springer's RBI single helped him avoid setting a new Blue Jays record in futility and Toronto held on for a 4-1 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday.
Springer had gone 35 at bats without a hit until the single. A 36th would have given him the franchise record for hitless droughts.
Springer matched the dubious Blue Jays record when he grounded out in the third inning. It was his 35th consecutive at bat without a hit, tying a franchise record shared with Ed Sprague and Danny Jansen . “You need guys to respond in the right way and he definitely has. It's just a matter of time for George.”
Still struggling with control, Fujinami then hit Jansen in the elbow to push Vladimir Guerrero Jr., across the plate and add another run to the Blue Jays' lead.
