MLB wrap: Blue Jays top Rays with walkoff home run from Teoscar Hernandez image

Toronto topped Tampa Bay on Saturday in dramatic fashion.

The Blue Jays trailed the Rays by four runs entering the ninth inning, but rallied to score four and extend play. Teoscar Hernandez secured an impressive 10-9 comeback victory by blasting a walkoff home run in the 12th inning.

The 26-year-old outfielder went 2 for 6 at the plate and notched two home runs on the day. He has 14 on the year and helped Toronto end a two-game losing streak.

Tampa Bay's Travis d'Arnaud also had a good day, and went 2 for 5 notching a home run of his own, as well as three RBIs.

The Blue Jays are fourth in the American League East standings with a 40-66 record — 18 1/2 games back from the Rays. But they certainly came to play at the Rogers Centre.

Studs of the Night

Clayton Kershaw struck out nine Nationals batters in six innings in a 9-3 Dodgers win.

Steven Matz pitched a complete game and helped the Mets shut out the Pirates 3-0.

Yoan Moncada went 3 for 4 and tallied a home run and two RBIs as the White Sox beat the Twins 5-1.

Duds of the Night

Nicholas Castellanos went 0 for 4 in the Tigers' 8-1 loss to the Mariners.

Jordan Yamamoto gave up six earned runs in four innings as Miami fell to Arizona 9-2.

Aaron Judge was hitless in five at-bats in the Yankees' 9-5 loss to the Red Sox.

Highlight

Houston's Carlos Correa notched his first career grand slam against the Cardinals. The Astros won 8-2.

What's Next?

Pirates (46-58) at Mets (49-55) 1:10 p.m. ET — New York has won three straight and is looking to catch up to the Phillies in the National League East. It has a chance to get on a roll against the team at the bottom of the National League Central in Pittsburgh.
