Blue Jays Third Baseman Turns Heads With Message Before Yankees Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Toronto Blue Jays encapsulated the unpredictability of baseball in their three-game series against the Boston Red Sox over the weekend. They won Friday's game 9-0 before losing 15-1 on Saturday and winning 5-3 on Sunday.

"I mean… I don't even know if I knew we were playing the Yankees, but now I do.' Barger is slashing .260/.321/.485 with nine homers and 26 RBI over 59 games this season. Toronto fans on social media are enjoying the 25-year-old's response. Advertisement "I love his cool head, that's exactly the attitude that we need," one person said. "No fear going into a huge series." "Love the attitude on that beast," another said. "Cool as a cucumber," another said. "Love this kid man," another said. "Too ripped and handsome to be thinking too much," another said. "Hope they don't trade him," another pleaded. Right-handed pitcher Max Scherzer (0-0, 5.63 ERA) will start on Monday for the Blue Jays against New York Yankees southpaw Carlos Rodon (9-5, 2.92 ERA).

Addison Barger, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. homer on consecutive pitches as Blue Jays beat Red Sox 5-3
BOSTON — Addison Barger and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. homered on consecutive pitches from Walker Buehler in the first inning and Toronto capitalized on the right-hander's wildness to add two runs in the fourth in a 5-3 win over the Boston Red Sox on Sunday. Andrés Giménez and Nathan Lukes each had an RBI single as Toronto took two of three games in the weekend series and improved to 7-3 against Boston this season. Buehler (5-6), who is g uaranteed $21.05 million in a one-year free agent contract signed during the offseason , is 1-4 with a 7.80 ERA in his last six starts. Carlos Narváez hit a solo homer and Ceddanne Rafaela an RBI double for the Red Sox, who have lost seven of eight. Boston reliever Zack Kelly walked off the mound with a trainer due to right oblique tightness. Yariel Rodríguez (2-0) got five outs in scoreless relief and earned the win. Jeff Hoffman struck out three batters in the ninth for his 18th save. Barger hit a slider into the right-field seats and Guerrero Jr. sent a fastball over the Green Monster at Fenway Park. After Boston rallied to tie the game at 2, Buehler gave up a go-ahead run-scoring single to Giménez and then walked the next two batters — Jonatan Clase and Tyler Heineman — to force in a run. He issued three walks in the inning. Boston dropped its third straight series and has lost three of four since trading Rafael Devers to San Francisco two weeks ago. Blue Jays RHP Max Scherzer (0-0, 5.63 ERA) makes his second start since coming off the injured list from a right thumb injury on Monday in a home game against the Yankees. LHP Carlos Rodón (9-5, 2.92) is scheduled for New York. Red Sox LHP Garrett Crochet (7-4, 2.06) is slated to start Monday against Cincinnati RHP Chase Burns (0-0, 5.40). ___ AP MLB:

Blue Jays score series win over sliding Red Sox
June 29 - Addison Barger and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. each hit a solo home run to propel the visiting Toronto Blue Jays to a 5-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Sunday. The home runs came back-to-back in the top of the first against Walker Buehler. It was Barger's ninth home run of the season, and homer No. 12 for Guerrero. Carlos Narvaez hit his seventh home run for Boston, which has lost seven of its last eight games. The Red Sox received two hits from rookie Roman Anthony, who has five hits in his last two games. Nathan Lukes collected two hits and an RBI for Toronto, which won twice in the three-game series. Yariel Rodriguez (2-0) picked up the win for tossing 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief after starter Eric Lauer exited the game with one out in the fifth. Jeff Hoffman struck out the side in the ninth to record his 18th save. Buehler (5-6) took the loss after he allowed four runs on four hits in four innings. He walked three and struck out three. After Toronto went in front 2-0 on the home runs by Barger and Guerrero, Narvaez homered in the bottom of the second to cut the Blue Jays' lead in half. The Red Sox tied the game later in the second when Trevor Story singled, stole second and scored on Ceddanne Rafaela's double. The Blue Jays took a 4-2 lead by scoring twice in the fourth. Andres Gimenez drove in Lukes with a single to break the tie, and then Ernie Clement scored on a bases-loaded walk to Tyler Heineman. Toronto extended its advantage to 5-2 when Lukes drove in Bo Bichette with a single in the fifth. Boston was back within two runs after Nick Sogard scored on a double by Romy Gonzalez to make it 5-3 in the fifth, but that ended the scoring. --Field Level Media
