TORONTO (AP) — Rookies Joey Loperfido and Addison Barger hit back-to-back home runs in the bottom of the ninth inning and the Toronto Blue Jays rallied to beat the Los Angeles Angels 5-4 on Friday night.
Toronto trailed 4-3 heading into the ninth against Los Angeles right-hander Roansy Contreras (2-3), but Loperfido tied it with his fourth home run of the year before Barger won it with his fourth.
Barger’s 439-foot drive was the longest homer of his brief career.
“It’s surreal, an unbelievable moment,” Barger said.
