The Toronto Blue Jays defeat the St. Louis Cardinals 3-1 in Friday night action, with Luis Urías providing the decisive late hit. The game is tied until the eighth inning. Toronto sends pinch-hitter Urías to the plate after a sequence of walks loads the bases for the Blue Jays. Cardinals reliever Peter Strzelecki walks George Springer and Daulton Varsho with one out, then walks Ernie Clement, filling the bases. Urías then hits a two-run single through the left side, scoring two runs and breaking the tie. St. Louis’s relief pitching changes again after Strzelecki’s departure, as Gordon Graceffo enters and allows the bases to remain loaded before Urías’ hit. The Blue Jays hold their lead to finish with a 3-1 win over the Cardinals, who are described as slumping heading into the game.
