Slugger Jose Bautista powers Blue Jays to 3-1 victory over Rangers
TORONTO — There are four games left to play in May and the Toronto Blue Jays are almost out of the hole they dug in April.
Jose Bautista’s three-run homer was all the offence the Blue Jays needed on Saturday as they extended their winning streak to five games with a 3-1 victory over the Texas Rangers.
Toronto (23-26) is now three games under .500 and will be going for a season-high winning streak on Sunday afternoon.
“We’re playing good baseball,” said Jays manager John Gibbons. “We’ve picked it up and we always felt confident with the guys who have been filling in basically for the last six weeks in some key spots and they’ve just stepped up.”
