Teoscar Hernandez Toronto Blue Jays Beat Kansas City Royals In Extra Innings

“I just had confidence that my teammates would put some good at-bats together and we’d tie the game and win the ball game,” he said. Hernandez hit an RBI single as part of a three-run 10th inning for the Toronto Blue Jays as they came from behind to beat the Kansas City Royals 6-5 at the Rogers Center on Saturday. After Vinnie Pasquantino hit a two-run home run in the top of the 10th inning to put the Royals (36-55) up 5-3, the Blue Jays (49-43) chipped away at the deficit. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. led things off with an RBI double. The Blue Jays second baseman got emotionally charged a pitch before that when a slider by the Royals’ Joel Payamps (2-3) was called for a hit. Guerrero hit his bat in disagreement with the call before driving in the run that cut Kansas City’s lead to 5-4. “You don’t really see him show that much frustration, but I think at the time it might have been good for him,” Blue Jays interim manager John Schneider said. Raimel Tapia, pinch hitting for Bradley Zimmer, followed with an RBI single to tie the game at 5-5 before Hernandez singled to win the game for the Blue Jays. Jordan Romano (3-2) picked up the win for the Blue Jays despite giving up the leadoff double to Pasquantino that gave the Royals the lead. The Royals opened the scoring when Bobby Witt Jr. hit a two-out RBI single in the top of the third inning. Freddy Fermin came from second base to score. Earlier in the inning, Fermin was initially called out to first base as part of a double play, but Kansas City contested the play and was successful. The challenge allowed the Royals to then score the first run of the game. The Blue Jays tied the game later in the inning when Alejandro Kirk hit a one-out, RBI single. Danny Jansen came in to score, narrowly beating the throw to the plate from Royals left fielder Edward Olivares. In the fourth, the Royals regained the lead on a triple by Ryan O’Hearn. Blue Jays starting pitcher Max Castillio was removed from the game after O’Hearn’s hit and was replaced by reliever Trevor Richards. Castillo lasted just three-plus innings while allowing three runs and five hits while striking out one batter. The pitcher was notified the night before that he would be assigned to start the game. Nate Eaton hit an RBI sacrifice fly to extend Kansas City’s lead to 3-1. George Springer hit a two-out, two-run single with the bases loaded to tie the game 3-3. Springer’s hit knocked out Royals first baseman Daniel Lynch. In the sixth inning, Royals manager Mike Matheny was ejected for taking issue with an interference call given to Michael Massey as Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen attempted to throw out a runner at second on a pitch. The call ended the inning for Kansas City, which had runners on first and second base. “I just think it’s a bad call at a really bad time in the game,” Matheny said. It’s a crisis crisis, so there’s nothing we can do about it, but it’s a shame.” BASE: The Blue Jays announced that Santiago Espinal will head to the MLB All-Star Game to replace Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve, who sprained his knee in a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday. Espinal joins teammates Alek Manoah, Guerrero Jr. and Alejandro Kirk as the Blue Jays representing the American League on Tuesday in Los Angeles. … Before the game, the Blue Jays and Royals traded pitchers. Toronto acquired lefty Foster Griffin in exchange for righty Jonatan Berna. The Blue Jays also optioned Griffin to Triple-A and recalled right-handed pitcher Jeremy Beasley.
