Teoscar Hernandez Toronto Blue Jays Over Chicago Cubs Kevin Gausman

Hernandez hit a grounder to right field and then hit a three-run homer to give Toronto its first lead of the game as the Blue Jays beat the Chicago Cubs 5-3. “The last two weeks I’ve been dealing with injuries and everything,” said Hernandez, who did not play in Monday’s 5-4 win over Chicago. “I’m not having a good time at the plate or on defense. “I try to do my best and I did today and it feels great.” The homer was Hernandez’s 100th hit of the season, the eighth Blue Jay to reach the century mark in 2022. The Los Angeles Dodgers and Colorado Rockies each have six for second in Major League Baseball behind Toronto. It’s the first time in franchise history that eight players have more than 100 hits before September. “At this point, it feels great because it helps the team win,” Hernandez said. “That’s the only thing that matters to me right now.” Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had a solo home run and drove in a run with one out to support Kevin Gausman’s great start for Toronto (70-58). Gausman (10-9) struck out nine and allowed five hits, including two home runs. David Phelps, Anthony Bass, Trevor Richards and closer Jordan Romano all came out of the bullpen. Romano earned a four-out save, his 28th of the season. “(Gausman) was awesome. Tons of swing-and-misses, a lot of punch outs, obviously just a couple of hard-hit home runs, but he was awesome,” Toronto interim manager John Schneider said. “You always want to try to reward that with a good effort and they stepped up.” Christopher Morrell had a solo shot and an RBI double for Chicago (55-75). Wilson Contreras opened the scoring with a home run in the fourth. Marcus Stroman got a no-decision, despite holding the Blue Jays to three hits, a walk and a run with one strikeout. Brendon Little (0-1), Michael Rucker and Jeremiah Estrada came on in relief. Gausman was especially sharp in the second and third, striking out five in a row between the two participants. He ended the second by striking out Franmil Reyes and Nico Herner, then got Nelson Velasquez, PJ Higgins and Morel to swing at third. “A lot of them are heaters and that’s a big step for me,” Gausman said of his early effectiveness. “When I can do that, I’m hard on the players.” Contreras walked Gausman with one out in the fourth. He took the first pitch he saw, an 85 mph slider, into deep left field for a 1-0 Chicago lead. Reyes came to the plate three batters later and sent a looping shot to deep right field for what likely would have been a double. Hernandez sprinted all the way out and slid low under the ball, making the catch to end the inning. “I didn’t think he had a chance to get to that,” Gausman said. “Every time you look at a play like that, you look at the guy, you look at the ball and you keep looking at both of them, you know? Who will get there faster? “I didn’t think he had any chance, but it was a poor game.” Guerrero tied the game in the fifth when his single drove in Danny Jansen and advanced George Springer to third. Morel restored the Cubs’ lead in the next inning. He hit his 13th home run of the season to deep left field, making no mistake on Gausman’s 92.9 mph fastball. After Little hit Bo Bichette with a pitch and Matt Chapman won the throw to first for a base hit, Hernandez came to the plate. He sailed a sinker 382 feet to right for a 4-2 Toronto lead. Morel chipped away at Toronto’s lead in the seventh, stroking a double to left field to score Velasquez and make it 4-3. Chants of “Vladdy! Vladdy! Vladdy!” rained out the crowd of 33,759 at Rogers Center after Guerrero led off the seventh inning with a solo home run to right field. His 27th of the season came off a four-seam fastball from Rucker. UP NEXT – Mitch White (1-4) starts for Toronto as the Blue Jays close out their interleague series against the Cubs. Chicago has yet to name its starter for tonight’s game. This report by The Canadian Press was first published on August 30, 2022.
