Blue Jays Rally Past Mariners 6-3 Behind Barger's Three Doubles

Addison Barger delivered a standout performance for the Toronto Blue Jays in their 6-3 victory over the Seattle Mariners, highlighted by three doubles and a key defensive catch. Barger's doubles, hit with exit velocities exceeding 109 mph, were instrumental in the Jays' comeback from a three-run deficit, while his leaping catch prevented a Mariners rally. This performance came as a significant step for Barger, who struggled with consistency last season but is now poised for more playing time following an injury to teammate Andres Gimenez. Blue Jays manager John Schneider praised Barger's power and defensive skills, emphasizing the need for consistent reps to build his confidence. The Jays' win cooled off a Mariners team that had recently surged to first place in the AL West, with Toronto now improving their record and gaining momentum. Barger himself remains focused on staying relaxed under pressure to continue his development.
