Blue Jays Extend Home Winning Streak to Nine Games

The Toronto Blue Jays have been on a strong winning streak at home, recently defeating the San Francisco Giants 6-3 with standout performances from Addison Barger, who had a career-high four hits, and Will Wagner, who hit a key two-run double. Pitcher Eric Lauer contributed significantly by striking out seven in six innings, helping the Blue Jays maintain their AL East lead with a record of 34-16 at home and 11-3 in July. The team is also exploring roster improvements, showing interest in acquiring Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi, a World Series champion whose addition could strengthen their lineup despite his costly contract. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays' depth is evident in players like Joey Loperfido and Will Wagner, who have brought energy and production since being called up. Their recent success has created a vibrant atmosphere at home games, with sellouts becoming common as fans rally behind their playoff hopes. The Blue Jays continue to hold a lead over the New York Yankees, who are contemplating significant moves to address their closer issues before the trade deadline.
