Toronto had four runs in the eighth after scoring two in the eighth with a 3-2 lead in Saturday’s win and five in the seventh of Friday’s win to break a 2-2 tie.

Kevin Ginkel, Miguel Castro, Scott McGough – who gave up all four earned runs after Henry’s exit – and Justin Martinez came on in relief.
Arizona scored again in the second thanks to another mishap from Kikuchi. He threw a wild pitch that allowed Nick Ahmed to score from third.
