Blue Jays Defeat Guardians 10-6 on Springer Grand Slam

The Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Cleveland Guardians 10-6 in a game highlighted by George Springer's eighth-inning grand slam, which decisively put the game out of reach. Eric Lauer pitched effectively for the Blue Jays, allowing just one run over 5 1/3 innings and extending his winning streak to four wins in five starts. Despite a late offensive surge from the Guardians, including a three-run homer by Lane Thomas, the Blue Jays maintained control with contributions from Alejandro Kirk, Jonatan Clase, and multiple defensive plays by Ernie Clement and Andrés Giménez. The Blue Jays' bullpen had some struggles in the seventh inning, but Springer's grand slam alleviated the pressure. This win came as the Blue Jays returned to a full starting rotation, with Max Scherzer expected to start in the next game, which could help stabilize their pitching staff. Cleveland's offense showed promise but fell short against Toronto's balanced attack, as the Guardians' recent home game record against Toronto remains challenging.
