Morales provided the Blue Jays their first lead in emphatic fashion, launching a two-run home run to left-centre field off Mariners starter Ariel Miranda in the fourth to give the Blue Jays a 2-1 lead. The homer traveled a Statcast™ projected 437 feet, his third longest of the season, with an exit velocity of 112.6 mph, his second hardest-hit home run of his career. He hit one with an exit velocity of 115.6 mph on June 6, 2016.
Miranda allowed only two hits in 6 1/3 innings, but he struggled with command, walking five batters.
