ST. LOUIS — Blue Jays manager John Schneider thought for a moment, staring forward as he exhaled in the tunnels under St. Louis’ Busch Stadium. Toronto had just won its fifth straight series, toppling the Cardinals before finishing the sweep on Wednesday. The manager was asked to think back: When was the last time his team had a stretch this good?

For the second night in a row, St. Louis (36-31) came up one run short of Toronto (37-30) as the Blue Jays held off the Cardinals 10-9 Tuesday night at Busch Stadium. St. Louis was in a hole early after Andrés Giménez took Miles Mikolas deep to right field for a three-run home run.

The Toronto Blue Jays, adept at facing lefties, aim for a series sweep against Matthew Liberatore and the Cardinals. Ben and Donnie preview the action!
