Garver Rips 2 Home Runs in 4-3 Blue Jays Triumph
In the 4-3 Toronto win over Tampa Bay, the impact of Mitch Garver was substantial. Garver, who finished 2nd in the AL in home runs with 47 last year, was 2 for 3 with 2 home runs and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. Toronto reliever Tim Mayza was the winner. His record is now 1-0. Colin Poche took the loss. Earning his 2nd save for Toronto was John Doxakis.

Odubel Herrera, who finished 3rd in the NL in doubles with 42 in 2017, aided the Toronto cause with a run-scoring double in the top of the eighth. For the game, the left fielder went 1 for 4 with a double.

Garver called the win "a team effort."

Toronto, with the win, is 2-1.
