MIAMI — Lourdes Gurriel homered and Hyun Jin Ryu pitched six solid innings to lead the Toronto Blue Jays to a 2-1 win over the Miami Marlins.
After Miami’s Sixto Sanchez got through the first four innings on 43 pitches, the Blue Jays snapped the rookie right-hander’s 11-inning scoreless string on Gurriel’s two-run shot in the fifth.
Gurriel drove Sanchez’s 0-1 slider over the left-center wall for his fifth homer. Ryu (3-1) allowed one run and six hits, walked two and matched a season-high eight strikeouts. Sanchez (1-1) took the loss.
