TORONTO — The tying run stood on deck in Sunday’s eighth inning as the Toronto Blue Jays threatened yet another comeback. Toronto’s history of late-game heroics gave fans hope — even down four runs, they slid forward in their seats. This time, though, Alejandro Kirk’s lazy foul fly found a Texas Rangers glove and hope finally faded away.

Myles Straw had five RBIs in his first career multihomer game, and the Toronto Blue Jays hammered the struggling Texas Rangers 14-2

Perhaps this is the start of some regression for Eovaldi, who owns a 3.18 xERA with an xBA in the 68th percentile. The Rangers veteran sports a four-pitch repertoire with the split finger and four-seam fastballs making up 53% of his pitch usage.
