For the second straight game, Daulton Varsho hit a home run in the opening inning. José Berríos ended a three-start losing slide with seven solid innings, and the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Texas Rangers 7-3 on Sunday to finish a three-game sweep of the reigning World Series champions.
With the Blue Jays winning their second sweep of the season, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. blasted a solo home run, his fifth in nine games since the All-Star break, and drove in two runs. From May 27 to 29, Toronto defeated the White Sox in a three-game series.
Despite Josh Smith’s two-run home run, Texas dropped its third game in a row after winning its first five. It was the Rangers’ fifth straight sweep, and it happened all away.
There will be hiccups along the way, according to manager Bruce Bochy. “This one is difficult.”
While warming up for the bottom of the first inning, Rangers right-hander Jon Gray felt discomfort in his right groin. He departed the game without throwing a pitch.
“That’s the worst,” Gray remarked. “It seems like a nightmare. It’s absurd.
Due to a minor right groin injury, Gray was placed on the 15-day injured list on May 22 and remained there until June 7. Compared to the other injury, he claimed that this one felt different.
