TORONTO (AP) \u2014 Jes\u00fas S\u00e1nchez hit his first career grand slam, Ernie Clement and Yohendrick Pi\u00f1ango had solo home runs, and the Toronto Blue Jays beat Miami 8-1 on Tuesday night, snapping the Marlins’ winning streak at four.<\/p>\n
All three homers came off Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara, whose winless streak reached six starts.<\/p>\n
S\u00e1nchez cleared the bases in Toronto\u2019s six-run sixth inning with a 394-foot drive to right. It was his sixth home run of the season.<\/p>\n
S\u00e1nchez spent parts of six seasons with the Marlins before joining Houston at the trade deadline last season. He was dealt to Toronto in February.<\/p>\n
Clement homered to begin the second, his fifth of the season and second in as many games. Pi\u00f1ango made it 3-1 with a leadoff homer in the sixth.<\/p>\n
Kazuma Okamoto and George Springer both had RBI singles for the Blue Jays, who are 7-10 against NL opponents. Springer finished 3 for 4 and was hit by a pitch.<\/p>\n
Alcantara (3-4) gave up a season-high eight runs and matched a season-worst by allowing 10 hits in 5 2\/3 innings. He hit four batters, leaving to a chorus of boos after he followed up S\u00e1nchez\u2019s slam by drilling Okamoto on the arm.<\/p>\n
Alcantara is 0-3 with a 6.07 ERA in four career starts against the Blue Jays, allowing 34 hits in 26 2\/3 innings.<\/p>\n
After Braydon Fisher worked a scoreless first for Toronto, rookie right-hander Spencer Miles (2-0) followed by allowing one run and three hits in 4 1\/3 innings.<\/p>\n
Toronto\u2019s Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit before the game but sat for a second straight day. Guerrero left Sunday’s loss to Pittsburgh after being hit on his right elbow by a pitch.<\/p>\n
Blue Jays RHP Kevin Gausman (4-3, 3.23 ERA) is scheduled to face Marlins RHP Eury P\u00e9rez (3-6, 4.91) in Wednesday\u2019s series finale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TORONTO (AP) \u2014 Jes\u00fas S\u00e1nchez hit his first career grand slam, Ernie Clement and Yohendrick Pi\u00f1ango had solo…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":62574,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[2706,1016,11334,26843,1335,1336,1330,1332,18039,26844,48,3370],"class_list":["post-62573","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-toronto","tag-ernie-clement","tag-george-springer","tag-kazuma-okamoto","tag-marlins-blue-jays-score","tag-package-100024-ap-online","tag-package-100502-member-choice-sports-option","tag-product-30599-ap-sports-news-s-wire-only","tag-product-32562-ap-online-other-sports-news","tag-product-40780-ap-florida-sports-only","tag-sandy-alcantara","tag-toronto","tag-vladimir-guerrero-jr"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62573","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62573"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62573\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/62574"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62573"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62573"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62573"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
