Kirk hits pinch-hit double as Blue Jays beat Rockies 13-9 but lose Jansen to injury

DENVER (AP) — Pinch-hitter Alejandro Kirk’s three-run double keyed a five-run seventh inning and the Toronto Blue Jays hit three homers in a 13-9 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Friday night.

Danny Jansen, Brandon Belt and Ernie Clement went deep for the Blue Jays, who have won four of six to move within 1 1/2 games of slumping Texas for the final AL wild card. Jansen exited later with a broken finger.

Toronto had 17 hits and improved to 3-10 at Coors Field in its first trip to Colorado since 2019.
