Blue Jays Edge Cardinals 5-4 in 10-Inning MLB Victory

The Toronto Blue Jays narrowly defeated the St. Louis Cardinals twice in closely contested games, showcasing their offensive resilience. In one game, Andrés Giménez hit a pivotal three-run homer that helped Toronto take an early lead, but the Cardinals fought back to tie the game before Toronto regained the lead late, ultimately winning 10-9. Another game extended into extra innings, where Kirk's double in the 10th scored the winning run, and Jeff Hoffman secured the save as Toronto won 5-4. Key contributions included Jonatan Clase's first home run of the year to tie the game in the ninth and Kirk's earlier solo home run to give Toronto a lead. Despite moments of strong comeback from St. Louis, Toronto’s bullpen and timely hitting were decisive. The Blue Jays currently lead the all-time series against the Cardinals 15-14, continuing their recent success against the team.
