Late Rally by Blue Jays Locks Up 9-8 Win
The Toronto Blue Jays outlasted Ronny Mauricio and the Texas Rangers, 9-8. Mauricio was impressive in the loss. The Texas right fielder went 1 for 2 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Toronto reliever James Norwood picked up the win, raising his record to 3-1. Marc Church was tagged with the loss. Zebulon Vermillion notched his 11th save in 11 chances.

Toronto shortstop Bo Bichette contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the ninth. With two down, he hit a fastball into right field for a 2-run single. It was his 159th hit of the season and put the Blue Jays ahead, 9-6.

"The fans pay the tickets and help us do what we do, so we like to put on a show for them," Bichette told the Toronto Daily.

The last-place Blue Jays go to 69-84.
