Biggio's plunk lifts Blue Jays over Phillies 2-1; Romano earns 29th save in return

TORONTO — Cavan Biggio was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded as the Toronto Blue Jays scratched out a 2-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday.

A pitcher's duel between starters Yusei Kikuchi and Zack Wheeler had the score tied 1-1 when Toronto (67-54) loaded the bases in the eighth inning, setting up Biggio's game-winning plunk.

George Springer's RBI single was the only traditional run scored by the Blue Jays.

Kikuchi earned a no decision despite pitching a quality six innings where he allowed one run on four hits and struck out seven.
