Kirk homers twice as Blue Jays end playoff skid by thumping Yankees 10-1 in Game 1 of ALDS
"Alejandro Kirk hit two solo home runs, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. also connected and the Toronto Blue Jays won a postseason game for the first time since 2016 by thumping the New York Yankees 10-1 in Game 1 of their AL Division Series on Saturday. Nathan Lukes had two hits, three RBIs and a diving catch, and Andrés Giménez added two hits and drove in a pair as the AL East champion Blue Jays used 14 hits to snap a seven-game playoff losing streak."
"Guerrero went 3 for 4 with two RBIs. He opened the scoring with a two-out drive in the first inning, the first postseason homer of his career, and added a sacrifice fly in Toronto's four-run seventh. Guerrero entered with three hits and one RBI in six previous playoff games. Kirk hit a first-pitch homer in the second, his first in the postseason,"
Toronto scored early and often, beating New York 10-1 in Game 1 of the AL Division Series. Alejandro Kirk hit two solo home runs, including a first-pitch shot and a second homer to start a four-run eighth. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went 3-for-4 with two RBIs, delivering his first postseason home run and later a sacrifice fly. Nathan Lukes had two hits, three RBIs and a diving catch, while Andrés Giménez added two hits and two RBIs. Kevin Gausman allowed one run and four hits in 5 2/3 innings to earn the win. Luis Gil lasted 2 2/3 innings, yielding two runs.
