Blue Jays’ slim playoff hopes grow dimmer following dispirited loss to Texas Rangers
Spencer Arrighetti is scheduled to start Sunday for Toronto
Arlington, Texas (AP) — The Texas Rangers secured sole possession of the AL West lead with a 6-3 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday night. Cal Quantrill, a son of former Toronto All-Star Paul Quantrill, left the game after 12 pitches due to right lat tightness. Five relievers held Toronto to just six hits, with Jordan Montgomery making his first start since Tommy John surgery, pitching 3 2/3 innings of no-hit relief.
Texas scored twice in the second inning, aided by a pinch-hit home run by Davis Schneider. Texas' three-run sixth inning was highlighted by Wyatt Langford's RBI double, as left fielder Myles Straw pulled up as the ball landed between him and the wall. Texas has won six of seven games and moved a half-game ahead of Houston, which holds the tiebreaker.
