Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Isiah Kiner-Falefa steals second base ahead of a tag from Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford in the eighth inning at Rogers Centre. The Blue Jays won 5-2 on April 8, 2024.Jose Berrios threw 6⅔ shutout innings and Davis Schneider drove in two runs as the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Seattle Mariners 5-2 on Monday night in their home opener at Rogers Centre.
Kiermaier, who like Berrios was acknowledged before the game for Gold Glove Awards last year, flashed some of his defensive skills in the third inning. He made a nice running catch in right-centre field to deny Josh Rojas an extra-base hit. Kiermaier delivered two more strong defensive plays in the fifth. He hustled into the gap to cut off a Ty France hit that forced the runner to stay at first base.
It was their first appearance at Rogers Centre since the skipper’s much-criticized decision to pull the right-hander in the fourth inning of a Game 2 wild-card series loss last year in Minnesota. After the team returned to town Sunday evening from a 10-game road trip, third-base coach Carlos Febles spent time looking down the lines to envision how the corners might play.
