Blue Jays' bottom of the order comes up big in comeback win over Giants
Article content From top to bottom, the Blue Jays' lineup has generally been good as evidenced by the club's excellent record and first-place standing in the AL East. Article content The team's big boys tend to reside in the top of the order, but this season, if anything, has shown that even the alleged unknowns are more than capable of producing. Article content Article content Witness Saturday's 6-3 comeback win over the San Francisco Giants at a sold-out Rogers Centre crowd of 42,015. Article content Article content All six of Toronto's runs came from the bottom of the order as the triumvirate sparked the team to its longest home winning streak in 10 years. Article content Article content Clement has hit as high as leadoff. He has that rare bat control that allows him to lay down bunts, hit behind runners or be used in hit-and-run scenarios. Article content Wagner came on the scene last season following the trade deadline deal with Houston that also netted Joey Loperfido. Article content Article content Article content Heineman has come out the blue, but he is more than a serviceable backup catcher. Article content Article content Saturday's belt was Heineman's third of the season, while his first-career multiple extra-base hit game would also be produced in the win. Article content As well as the bottom of the order performed, it was hard to overlook Addison Barger's career-high four-hit performance. Article content 'A guy with really, really great talent,'' added the skipper on Barger. 'He can hit the ball hard, he can hit the ball out of the ballpark, and you pair that with a very good approach. Article content 'He's got a bright future. He can be as good as anyone … It's tools, it's approach, it's confidence. He's in a good spot.' Article content The same could be said for the Jays, who have taken the first two games of the series after losing three of four just before the all-star break. Article content
