They did better offensively on Saturday, but the three runs didn’t end up being enough, as the Brewers rallied twice before walking it off in the 10th inning.

With the Yankees facing a speed bump after a hot run in recent weeks, were any of their AL foes able to take advantage in Saturday’s action? Let’s see in today’s Rivalry Roundup. Toronto Blue Jays (18-21) 14, Los Angeles Angels (15-25) 1 You might not have guessed that this game was still close when the Blue Jays came to bat in the fifth, but it was.

However shortly later, it was no longer close and Toronto was on their way to a blowout win. View Link Angels starter Jack Kochanowicz wasn’t terrible at first, as he got through three innings scoreless and then managed to get out of a bases loaded, nobody out spot by allowing just one run. Things came unraveled in the fifth for him, though.

The first six Toronto batters reached to start the fifth, with an error on Kochanowicz himself mixed in with the hits and walks. The sixth of those chased the pitcher from the game, but the Jays then tacked on a couple more runs. Brandon Valenzuela added a three-run homer, amid a four-hit day for him, as Toronto put up seven runs in the fifth to take full control of the game.
