Toronto Blue Jays Tie Long-Standing Franchise Record, Extend Home Winning Streak

With a sweep – and history – on the line, the Toronto Blue Jays successfully defended their home turf Sunday afternoon.

José Berríos immediately gave up a run in the top of the first inning against the San Francisco Giants, only for Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to steal it right back with a solo shot in the bottom of the frame. Toronto took a 3-1 through three, then went up 7-2 through five thanks to additional homers out of George Springer and Addison Barger.

The Giants didn't go down easy, answering with a four-run sixth, but the Blue Jays held strong and won 8-6. On top of wrapping up their sweep, it also marked the team's 10th straight win at Rogers Centre.

As noted by MLB.com's Sarah Langs, that ties the Blue Jays' franchise record for the most consecutive home wins. The only other time they reached the same mark was 40 years ago, all the way back in 1985.

Toronto was still playing at Exhibition Stadium at the time, though, making this the longest winning streak in Rogers Centre history.
