The Texas Rangers have extended their winning streak with a hard-fought 3-2 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays, completing a four-game sweep at Rogers Centre on Sunday. The decisive run came in the top of the ninth inning when a wild pitch allowed pinch-runner Jarred Kelenic to score from second base, sealing the win for the Rangers.
The Blue Jays struggled to generate offense throughout the series, and this final game was no exception. Despite a late rally that tied the game in the eighth inning thanks to a two-run home run from Nathan Lukes, Toronto couldn't hold off the Rangers' late-game push. Earlier in the game, Joc Pederson had put the Rangers ahead with a leadoff home run in the first inning.
The Blue Jays will look to regroup after this disappointing series, which saw them drop five consecutive games. Their pitching staff, including starter Shane Bieber, who surrendered a leadoff home run, will need to find consistency. Meanwhile, the Rangers, who have won three straight and are showing strong offensive power, continue to build momentum. The series finale also featured a dramatic game-ending catch by the Blue Jays' Brandon Nimmo, who appeared to be injured after crashing into the wall.
Fans looking to catch the Blue Jays' next home game can mark their calendars for Monday, June 29th, when they host the New York Mets. The game is scheduled to start at 7:07 p. m. ET.
