Blue Jays Sweep Cardinals, Extend Winning Streak to Seven

The Toronto Blue Jays swept the St. Louis Cardinals in a three-game series, highlighted by Ernie Clement's home run and Spencer Turnbull's strong pitching debut for Toronto. Clement homered in the fifth inning and finished with three hits but left the field in the ninth due to a leg injury. Spencer Turnbull pitched two scoreless innings in his Blue Jays debut after signing with the team in May, contributing to the team's seventh win in eight games. Andres Gimenez and Alejandro Kirk both showcased impressive offensive performances during the series, with Gimenez hitting a home run and driving in four runs, and Kirk tallying two home runs and multiple RBIs. The Blue Jays have been on a hot streak, winning 11 of their last 13 games, while the Cardinals continue to struggle with injuries and a recent losing streak. The Cardinals were swept at home for the first time since April 2024, and Toronto's pitching and hitting depth have powered their recent success.
