In a thrilling turn of events, the Blue Jays found themselves trailing 2-0 early on in Wednesday’s game. However, their resilience shone through as they orchestrated a remarkable five-run surge in the third inning, captivating the energetic crowd at T-Mobile Park.
The momentum shift began with Ernie Clement’s impressive leadoff double down the left-field line, setting the stage for an unforgettable inning. Andrés Giménez, an unlikely hero, unleashed a powerful swing, sending a towering home run 399 feet over the right-centre field wall off Mariners’ pitcher George Kirby.
Giménez’s clutch hit, his first home run in over a month, ignited the Blue Jays’ offense. Nathan Lukes and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. followed suit with key hits, paving the way for a string of runs that showcased the team’s tenacity and skill.
The Blue Jays’ explosive inning didn’t stop there. Daulton Varsho’s timely hit and a wild pitch added to the team’s lead, securing a commanding five-run advantage. Toronto continued to dominate, with George Springer and Guerrero contributing solo home runs and the team tallying more runs and extra-base hits than the previous two games combined.
The highlight of the game came in the sixth inning when Kirk’s three-run homer extended the Blue Jays’ lead to an impressive 12-2, solidifying their triumphant comeback in Game 3.
