Blue Jays Surge, Mets Beat Rockies as Rays Rout Astros

Surging offenses have defined late-May MLB play with concurrent pitching breakdowns.

Overview

  • Toronto used four home runs—including two by George Springer—to overcome Oakland 8-7 on Saturday and extend its home winning streak to six games.
  • Vladimir Guerrero Jr. reached base for a career-high 31st consecutive contest with a leadoff single in Toronto’s win.
  • Blue Jays center fielder Daulton Varsho departed with left hamstring discomfort and will be evaluated ahead of Sunday’s game.
  • The Mets defeated Colorado 4-2 on Friday as Francisco Lindor homered from both sides of the plate and Juan Soto snapped an 0-for-17 drought with an RBI double.
  • Tampa Bay erupted for 16 runs in a 16-3 rout of Houston, piling up 12 in relief to deepen the Astros’ bullpen struggles.
