Nathan Lukes followed with a bunt single, and Clement moved to third on
Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s liner to right. Taylor ended it by getting
Kazuma Okamoto to ground into a double play.
Bryan Hudson replaced Burke after Daulton Varsho’s two-out single in the seventh. Pinch-hitter
Alejandro Kirk grounded out on Hudson’s first pitch.
Blue Jays right-hander
