TORONTO — An eighth-inning, three-run homer from George Springer provided the Blue Jays with the perfect ending to their triumphant 10-day, 11-game Rogers Centre return.
The Blue Jays fell behind by as many as five runs on Sunday, but Springer's blast to the second deck in left field pushed his team to a 9-8 victory and three wins in the four-game series.
Toronto finished with a 9-2 mark in its first tour of duty on home turf in 22 months because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
To pluck nine victories in the Rogers Centre run was noteworthy because the Blue Jays went a middling 10-11 in home games in Dunedin, Fla.
