Blue Jays Jump By Marlins

     The Toronto Blue Jays pulled off a ninth-inning comeback and topped the Miami Marlins 6-5. The Marlins with the loss made certain that they will finish with a losing record this season.
     Miami(53-82) blasted out to a 3-0 lead in the fourth inning. Derek Dietrich knocked in Brian Anderson with a single to right. J.T. Riddle then singled to left which brought in Dietrich. Starlin Castro would eventually score on a ground out to short by Austin Dean.
     The Fish made it a five-run margin in the bottom of the fifth. J.T. Realmuto drove in Anderson on a base hit into center field. Two batters later, Castro singled home Realmuto with a hit to right field.
     Toronto(61-73) scored a run in the top of the sixth. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. popped a sacrifice fly to right field for Curtis Granderson, who was traded to the Milwaukee Brewers after the game, to score.
     In the ninth inning, the Blue Jays pulled off a major comeback. Devon Travis walked with the bases loaded and Kendrys Morales crossed the plate. Justin Smoak came up next to pinch-hit and he blasted a grand-slam homer to right field on a 0-2 pitch to give Toronto their first lead of the contest.
