The only Canadian team in major league baseball has won three of the four duels in its series against the Missouri club.

She also got her hands on a third straight win before the Major League Baseball All-Star Game break.

Kirk broke a 2-2 tie with his eleventh home run of the season.

He stretched his arms while Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was already on the trails.

Four innings earlier, Kirk had taken advantage of an error to step on the plate and open the scoring for the Jays.

Moments later, Bo Bichette had leveled the mark with a sacrifice ball.

Toronto's starter for that game, José Berrios, allowed two runs on seven hits and gave up a free pass.

He also passed seven opponents in six and a third innings.

The victory went to the record of Tim Mayza (3-0), while Jordan Romano signed his 20th save in 2022.
