Seager hits solo HR, Burger has 3 hits and 2 RBIs as Rangers beat Blue Jays 7-4
Corey Seager homered and Jake Burger drove in two runs as Texas scored five in the fifth to clinch the series.
On Saturday, the Texas Rangers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 7-4 at Rogers Centre, clinching the four-game series win and extending Toronto's losing streak to five games.
Rangers hitters capitalized on command issues from Toronto starter Dylan Cease, who walked five batters in 4 2/3 innings, scoring five runs in the fifth inning to build a 6-0 advantage.
First baseman Sean Keys made his MLB debut with a single and a run, while star slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went 0-for-5 with a strikeout and four ground-ball outs in the loss.
Blue Jays manager John Schneider offered support for Guerrero amid his slump, while Cease reflected on the loss, saying the team is "beating ourselves" through execution failures.
The Blue Jays will seek to avoid a four-game sweep Sunday when right-hander Shane Bieber faces Rangers right-hander Kumar Rocker in the series finale.
