Video Transcript
Welcome to the finale between the Blue Jays and the Royals.
The Blue Jays have won the first two.
They've won four in a row, seven of eight, in a playoff spot right now, trying to complete the sweep.
Spencer Arrighetti makes his fourth appearance, second start as a Blue Jay.
He has allowed a homer in all three appearances as a Jay.
And it's two on with nobody out.
Pasquantino coming up, one for eight in the series.
The one hit, a home run he hit back on Friday night.
Oh, my.
That sounded good.
And it looks good, and it's worth three for Vinny Pasquantino.
Just got through telling you he likes that four-seamer and the curveball, but man, Vinny, that was a loud shot.
We had wait- waited for that all night last night sitting up there, and there's Pasquatch coming out of his crib over there.
There he is.
We waited for him all night, and wouldn't you know it, Vinny scores that bat here.
A three-run homer.
It's a beauty.
The Royals, after three hitters, are in front three to nothing.
Bobby Witt Jr.
Leading off the bottom of the third.
That hurt.
That was hot.
To the top of the fence for Junior, and he's on for a second time.
Wow, that ball was screaming.
I said it hurt.
Yeah, that baseball's screaming.
0-13, exit Velo.
30th double of the season.
He's in scoring position after the double.
One down, and now Salvy.
That was loud.
And it's deep, left center field, at the wall.
Off the wall, and gone.
Salvador Perez gives the Royals a five-nothing lead in the bottom of the third.
Number 19.
Beautiful.
Well done.
It's been entirely the guys you think might do the damage who have done the damage.
Oh, a walk and a hit batter, and I'm gonna go way out on a limb and say that Arrighetti's getting low on fuel.
Two on, one out.
Look at the wicked spin on that ball.
It changed directions twice.
And the Royals are gonna get a run.
Oh, yeah.
That's, that's so tough.
That's a base hit.
It has not gone well for the Blue Jays today, really in any respect.
At the plate, on the mound, in the field.
They are down six to nothing, and here is Smith to lead off the top of the sixth.
Sent to right field and deep.
Rave is back, looking up, and it is gone.
Josh Smith with his fourth home run since joining the Blue Jays, his fifth on the season, and the Blue Jays have their first run of the afternoon.
The Blue Jays trying to make this one interesting.
First and third with two down here, and Guerrero coming up.
25th pitch this inning is grounded over.
Dobnak deflected to Lofton, and the Royals get the out.
That almost turned into a disaster.
It goes one, four, three, and Randy Dobnak has allowed one run over six innings.
And now it'll be Ernie Clement getting his first at bat.
The Royals fans making some noise now.
17,518 in house, and it looks like this is going to be the final out of the ballgame.
And it is, as the Blue Jays cannot sweep it.
The losing streak is snapped at four.
They fall back to 500, and they fall a game behind the Guardians for the final wildcard spot.
