TORONTO — Alejandro Kirk and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had three hits apiece and Whit Merrifield drove in a pair of runs as the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 7-2 on Tuesday night.
The Blue Jays scored four runs in the first inning en route to their fourth win in seven games.
Toronto starter Yusei Kikuchi (6-2) gave up a two-run homer to William Contreras in the opening frame but settled in after that, allowing just three hits over five innings.
The left-hander issued five walks and had four strikeouts, including the 500th of his career.
