The Toronto Blue Jays are getting hot just in time.
Catcher Alejandro Kirk led the Blue Jays to a 10-5 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday. Kirk finished the game 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBI. He recorded a single and a double, missing the cycle by only a triple.
Kirk is not known for his speed, so the idea of him securing a triple to pull off the cycle always seemed a little far-fetched. He does, however, have one triple in his career, having hit a three-bagger in 2024 against the Rays at Tropicana Field, where Tuesday's game was held.
The Toronto catcher is having another solid season. Kirk came into Tuesday hitting .271 with a .351 on-base percentage. He has five home runs and 22 RBI in 50 games.
Toronto is starting to heat up down the stretch of the season. Tuesday's win was the Blue Jays' sixth win in their past eight games. They've also won 10 of their past 15 games, and six of those wins have come against AL East opponents in what is projected to be a tight race as the postseason nears.
