Brandon Belt

TOR First Baseman #13

Brandon Belt left the yard for the second consecutive night, powering the Blue Jays to an 11-4 victory over the visiting Rays.

Belt clobbered his 420-foot solo shot off of Erasmo Ramirez in the fourth inning, extending the Blue Jays’ early advantage to 5-0. That would wind up being his only hit in four at-bats on the evening. The 35-year-old slugger has performed well when on the field this season, slashing a healthy .252/.369/.483 with 18 homers and 42 RBI in his first 396 plate appearances with the Blue Jays.
Alejandro Kirk

TOR Catcher #30

Alejandro Kirk slugged his eighth home run of the season on Friday night as the Blue Jays demolished the Rays.

Kirk opened the scoring in the ballgame with a 341-foot solo shot off of Aaron Civale in the second inning, giving the Jays an early lead that they would never relinquish. He also added a two-run single in the third inning to extend their lead to 3-0. The 24-year-old backstop finished the night 2-for-5 and is now hitting .251/.336/.360 with only eight homers and 43 RBI on the season.
Matt Chapman

TOR Third Baseman #26

Matt Chapman homered for the second consecutive game as the Blue Jays clobbered the Rays on Friday evening in Toronto.

The 30-year-old slugger led off the fifth inning with a 415-foot solo blast off of Erasmo Ramirez — increasing the Jays’ lead to 8-0. Chapman also singled in the ballgame, finishing the night 2-for-4. He looks to be getting back on track just in time for the start of the postseason. On the season, Chapman is hitting .242/.333/.428 with 17 homers and 54 RBI.
Yusei Kikuchi

TOR Starting Pitcher #16

Yusei Kikuchi notched his 11th victory of the season on Friday night, surrendering three runs on five hits over his five-plus innings of work against the Rays.

The 32-year-old hurler kept the Rays’ offense off the board through the first five innings but allowed a two-run homer to Yandy Díaz in the sixth and then a double to Harold Ramirez before turning the ball over to the bullpen — and he came around to score as well. Kikuchi got eight swings and misses on 76 pitches on the night, posting an underwhelming CSW of only 21 percent. He concludes the regular season with an 11-6 record, 3.86 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and a 181/48 K/BB ratio over 167 2/3 innings in his 32 starts.
Brandon Belt

TOR First Baseman #13

Brandon Belt slugged a three-run homer on Thursday night as the Blue Jays walloped the Yankees.

The 35-year-old slugger tagged Zach McAllister for his 409-foot three-run shot in the sixth inning, extending the Blue Jays’ advantage to 6-0. That would be his lone hit in four at-bats on the evening. For the season, Belt is now hitting .252/.369/.477 with 17 long balls and 41 RBI in 392 plate appearances with the Jays.
Daulton Varsho

TOR Center Fielder #25

Daulton Varsho crushed his 19th home run of the season on Thursday night as the Blue Jays triumphed over the Yankees.

Varsho opened the scoring in this one with a 380-foot bomb off of Yankees’ starter Luke Weaver in the third inning. The 27-year-old outfielder also worked a walk in the sixth inning and rode home on Brandon Belt’s three-run blast. He finished the evening 1-for-3 and is now hitting .220/.287/.388 with 19 homers, 57 RBI and 16 stolen bases on the season.
Matt Chapman

TOR Third Baseman #26

Matt Chapman launched his 15th home run of the season — and first since August 4 — as the Blue Jays defeated the Yankees on Thursday evening in Toronto.

Chapman victimized Yankees’ starter Luke Weaver for his 346-foot opposite-field blast in the fourth inning — extending the Blue Jays’ early lead to 2-0. It was Chapman’s first home run in nearly two months, so it’s nice to have that weight lifted off of him before the postseason begins. On the season, the 30-year-old third baseman is now slashing .240/.339/.420 with 15 long balls and 53 RBI.
Chris Bassitt

TOR Starting Pitcher #40

Chris Bassitt dazzled in Thursday night’s victory over the Yankees, piling up 12 strikeouts over 7 2/3 innings of shutout baseball.

The 34-year-old right-hander allowed just five hits on the night while issuing one free pass. Bassitt got 21 swings and misses on 106 pitches on the night — five each on his sinker, sweeper and cutter — while registering an elite CSW of 41 percent. He wraps up the regular season with a 16-8 record, 3.60 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and a 186/59 K/BB ratio over 200 innings in 33 starts on the season. It’s the first time in Bassitt’s career that he has eclipsed the 200-inning plateau, and he’s one of just four hurlers in baseball this year to do so.
Jose Berrios

TOR Starting Pitcher #17

José Berríos gave up four runs in six innings and struck out 10 against the Yankees in a loss Wednesday.

Berríos wasn’t bad tonight, but he gave up a walk in front of Aaron Judge’s homer in the fourth and two more bases on balls, including an intentional pass to Judge, in a two-run fifth. Those were his only three walks on the night, but they proved painful. Berríos most likely ends the regular season 11-12 with a 3.65 ERA. Maybe there’s a chance he’ll log innings Sunday if it’s a do-or-die game for the Blue Jays. If not, it’s his first losing season since he went 3-7 in 14 starts as a rookie for the Twins in 2016.
Kevin Gausman

TOR Starting Pitcher #34

Kevin Gausman kept the Yankees scoreless for seven innings in a no-decision Tuesday.

The Blue Jays never scored tonight, so Gausman remained 12-9 with a 3.16 ERA. With five strikeouts tonight, he’s up to 237 for the year. Only Pablo López, at 228, is capable of passing him for the AL lead. Gausman will only start Sunday against the Rays if the Jays have failed to clinch a postseason spot.
