Davis Schneider hit his second home run in as many days as the Blue Jays swept the Cardinals

Toronto’s other run came thanks to Nathan Lukes’ second double of the game in the bottom of the eighth, driving in George Springer. This came in the bottom of the eighth in a tied game, putting the Blue jays up 3-2, the final score of the game.

Diving into the stats…
