The Toronto Blue Jays beat the St. Louis Cardinals 3-1 on Friday night, rallying in the eighth inning on pinch-hitter Luis Urías' two-run single. Starting pitchers Dylan Cease of Toronto and Kyle Leahy of St. Louis turned the game into a pitchers' duel, with both lineups struggling to score. With one out in the eighth, Cardinals reliever Peter Strzelecki walked George Springer and Daulton Varsho. Gordon Graceffo took over and walked Ernie Clement, loading the bases for Urías, who grounded a two-run single through the left side. Strzelecki took the loss and fell to 0-1. The Cardinals, who entered the series in Toronto hoping to find momentum, continued their recent struggles, while the Blue Jays recovered from a rough stretch. The series continues over the weekend.
