Toronto Blue Jays designated hitter Justin Turner celebrates his solo homer with Blue Jays third base coach Carlos Febles while playing against the Kansas City Royals during third inning American League MLB baseball action in Toronto on Monday, April 29, 2024. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Nathan DenetteThe Toronto Blue Jays rested all-star shortstop Bo Bichette and key relievers Yimi Garcia and Jordan Romano weren't available, so it fell to Justin Turner to step up.
Starter Yariel Rodriguez earned a no decision after he gave up three runs, two earned, on six hits and three walks, with one strikeout over 3 2/3 innings. Genesis Cabrera , Trevor Richards, Tim Mayza, Erik Swanson and Nate Pearson came on in relief for the Blue Jays, with Pearson earning his first save of the year.
Jonathan Bowlan gave up four runs on six hits and three walks, striking out three over 2 2/3 innings. Tyler Duffey, Angel Zerpa, Matt Sauer and Nick Anderson came out of the visitors' bullpen. Turner drilled his second homer, again to left field, to lead off the third inning. It was his fourth of the season.
The 27-year-old Rodriguez is on a limited pitch count so far in his Major League Baseball rookie season, having played professionally in his native Cuba and Japan before signing with the Blue Jays during the off-season.
