(Toronto) The Texas Rangers defeated the Blue Jays, who are trying to stay in the playoff hunt, 9-2 on Thursday. Corey Seager drove in three runs, and the Texas Rangers were the winner.

The Jays have lost a little more ground in the American’s depiction of the three teams making the playoffs without winning a division.

Pitcher Kevin Gausman of the Blue Jays remarked, “We’re as outraged as anyone. We are annoyed. All of us are rivals, and we disapprove of what transpired in this series.

Tampa Bay, Texas, and Seattle are listed in that order, with the Mariners being a game and a half ahead of the Toronto team.

The Rangers have won six in a row thanks to Jonah Heim’s single home run.

Josh Smith had a sacrifice fly, Nathaniel Lowe singled in two runs, and Marcus Semien hit a run-scoring double.

The eighth inning saw the last five points for the champions.

Following a 3 1/3 inning outing by Nathan Eovaldi, Cody Bradford (4-1) was in charge of getting eight outs.

In a futile effort, Vladimir Guerrero hit a home run. Bo Bichette singled in the first inning to break a 0-for-15 skid.

Gausman (11-9) gave up four runs, six hits, and six walks in four and a third innings.

Gausman confessed, “Today, it was all my fault.” It’s unacceptable to turn up, give the lead (on Seager’s circuit), and then give it back (on Seager’s double) after Vladdy’s circuit. I was to blame for everything in this game after that.

When he returned to the Blue Jays’ active roster, Matt Chapman was hitless on three attempts.

Since August 28 Chapman has been out due to a strained right middle finger.

Third baseman is currently hitting.50 RBIs and 15 home runs for 247 this season.

With 36 doubles, Chapman ranks fifth in baseball’s major league.

In 2018, 2019, and 2021, he also took home a Gold Glove.

At the Rogers Centre, 37,594 spectators watched the game.

From Friday to Sunday, the Boston Red Sox will be in Toronto.

Brayan Bello and José Berroa will start the opening game as pitchers.
