TORONTO (AP) --- Janson Junk pitched five innings and won for the first time
since April 28, Kyle Stowers and Javier Sanoja each had two doubles and two
RBIs, and the Miami Marlins extended their winning streak to four games by
beating the Toronto Blue Jays 8-2 on Monday night.
Canadian outfielder Owen Caissie went 2 for 4 and drove in a pair as Miami
improved to 14-5 all-time at Rogers Centre.
Junk (3-5) allowed one run and eight hits, all singles. He walked none and
struck out three.
Ernie Clement hit a solo home run for Toronto, but the Blue Jays lost their
second straight after winning the previous four.
Toronto's Trey Yesavage allowed five hits and a career-high five runs in a
season-high 6 2/3 innings. The rookie right-hander had allowed just three total
earned runs in five previous starts this season.
Yesavage (2-2) walked two and struck out six. All five hits off Yesavage were
doubles.
Sanoja was retired in his first at-bat after Yesavage twice bobbled his
comebacker, eventually using his glove to shovel the ball to first baseman
Lenyn Sosa.
Playing under open skies at home for the first time this season, the Blue Jays
fell behind in the first inning on Otto Lopez's sacrifice fly.
Sanoja and Caissie made it 2-0 with back-to-back doubles in the fifth, but the
Blue Jays cut the deficit in half on Yohendrick Piango's RBI single in the
bottom half.
Stowers dropped a two-out RBI double into shallow left in front of a charging
Piango in the sixth. After Jakob Marsee walked, Sanjoa added a two-run hit
that sailed over the rookie outfielder's head.
Blue Jays slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. did not play. Guerrero left Sunday's
loss to Pittsburgh after being hit on his right elbow by a pitch.
Up next
RHP Sandy Alcantara (3-3, 4.00 ERA) is expected to start for the Marlins on
Tuesday. RHP Braydon Fisher (2-1, 2.73) is scheduled to open for Toronto.
