St. Louis CardinalsvsToronto Blue Jays
STL 1/TOR 3
Things to say
The Blue Jays beat the Cardinals 3-1 at Rogers Centre.
01
opener
Jays took it 3-1 at home. Real pitcher's duel, nobody left the yard. Cards just couldn't string anything together.
02
key player
Whoever Toronto ran out there was dealing. Three runs of support and he made it stand up, that's a win you bank.
03
hot take
St. Louis at 54-56 keeps beating themselves. One run offense doesn't win you anything down the stretch.
04
deep cut
Toronto's now 51-59 but they're a tough out at Rogers Centre. Low-scoring games there are a coin flip and the Jays keep winning them.
05
exit
Anyway, Cards need the bats to wake up before the next one or it's more of the same.
The recap
Toronto took a tight one, 3-1, over St. Louis at Rogers Centre.
It was a pitcher's duel all afternoon, with the Cardinals bats going quiet after scratching across their lone run. The Blue Jays did just enough at the plate and leaned on the bullpen to slam the door in the late innings.
On a getaway day, that's a grind-it-out win Toronto will happily take.
