May 28, 2025; Arlington, Texas, USA; Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (11) hits a two-run home run during the ninth inning against the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field. Mandatory Credit: Kevin Jairaj-Imagn Images Pinch hitter Bo Bichette clubbed a two-run, two-out home run in the ninth inning to lift the Toronto Blue Jays to a 2-0 win over the anemic Texas Rangers on Wednesday in the rubber game of a three-game series in Arlington, Texas.
Bichette’s homer scored Ernie Clement, who opened the inning with a single off Jacob Webb (2-3), the fifth Texas pitcher. Clement advanced to second on a bunt by Nathan Lukes and was still there after a pop out by pinch hitter Alejandro Kirk.
Bichette’s game-winning round-tripper snapped a 22-inning scoreless drought for Toronto and was just the second hit in scoring position in 31 opportunities in the series. The Blue Jays won two of the three-game set despite scoring just four total runs.
Brendon Little (3-0) was the beneficiary of Bichette’s home run after striking out both batters he faced in the eighth inning. Jeff Hoffman struck out one in a perfect ninth inning to earn his 12th save of the year and the second in this series.
Toronto outhit the Rangers 8-1, with Addison Barger, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Nathan Lukes each collecting two hits for the Blue Jays.
Texas’ only hit was a leadoff single in the first by Josh Smith. The Rangers have dropped eight of their past 10 games and scored just three runs in the series with Toronto.
Tyler Mahle returned to form for Texas, surrendering four hits and three walks over his six-inning stint while striking out five. Luke Jackson entered in the seventh and allowed a leadoff single to Lukes, who stole second but was stranded when Hoby Milner relieved for Texas and struck out Daulton Varsho.
Robert Garcia had the eighth for the Rangers and allowed one hit while striking out two.
Rookie Paxton Schultz went the first 2 2/3 innings for the Blue Jays in his initial career start, allowing one hit and striking out four before being relieved by Eric Lauer.
Lauer worked out of a one-out, two-on jam in the sixth to keep the game scoreless. Braydon Fisher allowed a walk while striking out two for the Blue Jays in a 1 1/3-inning appearance before turning over the eighth to Little.
Toronto managed just six runs over its six-game road trip after scoring only two in a three-game series in Tampa Bay from May 23-25.

Bears QB Tyson Bagent Throws First Pitch at White Sox Game in Chicago
Chicago fans were treated to an NFL-MLB crossover on Sunday afternoon, as Bears quarterback Tyson Bagent took to the mound and threw out the first pitch ahead of the White Sox's game against the Minnesota Twins at Rate Field.The 25-year-old Bagent is entering his third season with Chicago, where he'll again serve as the backup behind starter Caleb Williams. He recently signed a $10 million, two-year contract extension with the Bears and quickly became a fan favorite on the Chicago sports scene because of his emotional response to his new deal. ADVERTISEMENT Bagent — a former undrafted free agent out of Shepherd University, a D-II program — dominated in college, with three seasons of at least 4,000 passing yards and one season where he had 5,000. A five-year starter at Shepherd (2018–2022), he threw for 159 passing touchdowns and added […]
Dukla překvapila na Letné. Pro hráče to byla vysoká škola fotbalu, říkal Holoubek
Šokovali zaplněnou Letnou. Přitom valná většina kádru Dukly nastoupila v domovině Sparty vůbec poprvé v kariéře. A nutno přiznat, že pro několik hráčů to byl teprve jeden z mála startů v nejvyšší české lize.„Byla to taková maturita, možná až zkouška na vysoké škole,“ uvědomoval si Holoubek.Trenére, převládá zklamání z výsledku, nebo hrdost?Těžko se to hodnotí v emocích. Hraje se na body a my nemáme nic. Kluci ale předvedli kus práce. Ve špatných výsledcích se vždy snažím hledat pozitiva. Nastoupilo sedm hráčů, kteří nikdy nehráli před takovou atmosférou. Je to pro ně velká škola a musí to dobře uchopit do dalších zápasů i celé kariéry. Jsem hrdý, jak to všichni zvládli.S výkonem jste tedy spokojený?Odehráli jsme to velmi slušně proti favorizované a kvalitní Spartě. Škoda, že jsme dostali branky ze standardek, což mě mrzí. Vidím ale opravdu hodně pozitiv. Odjíždíme se vztyčenou hlavou, byť to máme na Julisku kousek. To je mimochodem […]
Fantasy Baseball Week 23 Preview: Two-start pitcher rankings highlight Lucas Giolito, Sandy Alcantara
Each weekend, Scott White ranks the two start pitchers for the upcoming scoring period and then categorizes them by how usable they are. The names depicted here are highly speculative and subject to change.One of the most common ways they change is with the addition of a spot starter when a team is scheduled to play six games in a row. It doesn't always happen, but it happens often enough that I'm taking the extra step this year of pointing out which of the two-start pitchers is scheduled for Tuesday and Sunday in the upcoming scoring period, since they're the most likely to lose out in such a scenario.Below are the two-start pitchers for Fantasy Week 23 (Aug. 25-31), with the most questionable (Tuesday/Sunday in a seven-game week) being Jesus Luzardo, Lucas Giolito, Quinn Priester, Kyle Bradish, Luis Gil, Sandy […]
Obhájkyně titulu Sabalenková začala na US Open výhrou nad Masárovou
Sedmadvacetiletá Sabalenková letos na všech grandslamech došla minimálně do semifinále, při dvou finálových účastech na Australian Open a Roland Garros ale sbírku tří grandslamových titulů nerozmnožila. S Masárovou dnes ve vyrovnaném prvním setu bojovala 49 minut a zápas pak zlomila v úvodu druhé sady. Švýcarská reprezentantka měla v prvním gamu tři brejkboly, ani jeden ale nevyužila a ztratila na kurtu jistotu. Sabalenková pak rychle odskočila do vedení 5:0 a další komplikace už nepřipustila.Světová čtyřka Fritz se před rokem stal prvním americkým finalistou od roku 2006 a razantně vstoupil i do tohoto ročníku. I za pomoci 11 es vyřadil držitele divoké karty Navu za rovné dvě hodiny. V prvním setu hráče z počátku druhé stovky žebříčku zlomil až ve 12. gamu, kdy mu poprvé sebral podání. Ve zbytku utkání se mu to povedlo ještě třikrát a sám zůstal stoprocentní.Tenisový grandslamový turnaj US Open (tvrdý povrch, dotace 90 milionů dolarů):Muži:Dvouhra - 1. kolo:Fritz (4-USA) - Nava (USA) 7:5, 6:2, 6:3Shelton […]
