Blue Jays rally from 4 runs down to beat Angels 8-5, avoid series sweep

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) --- Anthony Santander hit a go-ahead, two-run single
during Toronto's four-run sixth inning, and the Blue Jays snapped their
four-game losing streak with an 8-5 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on
Thursday night.
Daulton Varsho homered and drove in three runs on three hits for the Jays, who
rallied from an early four-run deficit with 14 hits to avoid a series sweep.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. also had three hits as Toronto won for just the fifth
time in 17 games.
Taylor Ward and Jo Adell hit early homers for the Angels, who failed to earn
their first series sweep.
Chris Bassitt (3-2) persevered through six bumpy innings for Toronto, allowing
eight hits and striking out six. Chad Green earned his first save of the season
one night after Jeff Hoffman, who replaced Green as Toronto's closer this year,
blew a two-run lead in the ninth.
Jos Soriano struggled through five innings for the Angels, yielding three runs
on eight hits and four walks.
Ward hit a two-run homer in the first, and Adell followed with a solo shot in
the second before Zach Neto scored on Bo Bichette's error to put the Halos up
4-0.
Varsho had an RBI double and Addison Barger added an RBI single before the
decisive rally in the sixth.
Varsho connected for his third homer in six games in the eighth.
Key moment The Jays loaded the bases against Ryan Johnson (1-1) in the sixth before Santander delivered on Brock Burke's first pitch.
Key stat The Jays batted around for the first time this season in the sixth, although they left the bases loaded and stranded 11 total runners in the first six innings.
Up next Kyle Hendricks (1-3, 5.28 ERA) takes the Angel Stadium mound Friday against Baltimore. Kevin Gausman (2-3, 3.83 ERA) pitches for the Jays in Seattle. ___ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB
