Corey Seager had a home run and a two-run double as the Texas Rangers beat the Blue Jays 9-2 on Thursday, further dimming Toronto's post-season hopes.
The loss dropped the Blue Jays to a game and a half back of the idle Seattle Mariners in the race for the third and final American League wild-card berth.
Nathan Eovaldi allowed two runs on three hits and three walks, striking out three. Eovaldi was on a limited pitch count, so he exited the game after 3 1/3 innings with Cody Bradford , Jose Leclerc, Will Smith and Jonathan Hernandez coming on in relief. Texas got to Gausman early, with Seager taking him deep on an 87.2 m.p.h. splitter, only the fourth pitch of the game. Seager's 31st home run of the season flew 422 feet into right-centre field.
