Blue Jays get unearned run in 12th for 1-0 win at Rangers
ARLINGTON, Texas — The Toronto Blue Jays outlasted the Rangers to win after an overnight trip to Texas, two outstanding starting performances, some rain and an errant throw in the 12th inning.
Brandon Drury led off the 12th inning with a single and eventually scored the game’s only run on pitcher Ariel Jurado’s throwing error with a slick ball for a 1-0 win Friday night, handing the Rangers their first extra-innings shutout loss at home in nearly 27 years.
“There’s nothing better than to win an extra-inning game because you get deflated when you lose those extra-inning games after you battle to get to that point,” Toronto manager Charlie Montoyo said. “It feels really good for the club to win a game like this.”
