Blue Jays stop six-game losing skid with 6-3 win in Philadelphia
PHILADELPHIA — The Toronto Blue Jays finally stopped the bleeding Sunday with a 6-3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies.
Six stellar innings from starting pitcher Taijuan Walker, followed by a two-run blast from Teoscar Hernandez, helped the Jays halt a six-game losing streak before this week’s four-game stand against the New York Yankees.
The Jays struck early in the first after Bo Bichette drilled a double off the glove of first baseman Alec Bohm, sending the walked Cavan Biggio to third and setting up RBIs for Teoscar Hernandez and Lourdes Gurriel Jr.
The Phillies also got on the board quickly when Hernandez fumbled a Didi Gregorius blast off the right field wall. Gregorius, however, was stranded at second when Walker promptly struck out Jean Segura.
