TORONTO — Working to a full count with the bases loaded in the sixth inning, George Springer knew he had done something right when he connected with Junior Fernandez's sinker.
Springer assumed he'd at least get an RBI single out of the squared-up hit, but it sailed 414 feet for his seventh career grand slam, lifting the Blue Jays over the St. Louis Cardinals 10-3 on Tuesday and extending Toronto's win streak to seven.
"I just knew it was at least going to split the outfielders," said Springer. "It's exciting. It's a big spot right there, to put us up by some more runs.
