TORONTO — Danny Jansen, the ninth hitter in the Toronto Blue Jays lineup, has turned into a late-game RBI machine.
Jansen belted a three-run homer in the seventh to spirit the Blue Jays comeback on Monday and completed the deal with a walk-off single to left field in the 11th inning to end Toronto's three-game losing streak with a 5-4 come-from-behind win against the Chicago Cubs.
The Blue Jays (69-58) won for only the third time in their last 10 home games, this time before 26,473 fans at Rogers Centre. They were swept by the Los Angeles Angels in a three-game weekend set.
