But once they did get things going, the Jays didn’t let up.
George Springer got the scoring started with a solo homer in the seventh inning of a scoreless game before Vladimir Guerrero Jr. broke it open with a two-run double in the eighth.
Rookie Addison Barger brought Guerrero home with a double of his own to give the Jays a 4-0 lead on their way to a 4-1 win.
Credit Victoria, B.C.-born left hander Nick Pivetta for holding the Jays down as long as they were in Monday’s completion of a June 26th game. Pivetta had 10 striketouts before giving up the first three runs, two of them earned in those latter innings.
The game, which picked up in the top of the second with the Jays batting was historical in at least one sense.

Former Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen became the first player in Major League history to play for both teams in a single game. Jansen, who was at the plate for the Jays when the game was suspended, was traded to Boston at the deadline and was behind the plate in a Red Sox uniform when the game resumed Monday afternoon.

Jansen had a hit in the game for his new team but struck out in the ninth with the potential tying run in the on-deck circle to end the game.
The completion of the game was the actually the first of two the team would play yesterday with the regularly scheduled game set for 7 p.m.
The win was the Jays fifth in a row after Toronto swept the Los Angeles Angels over the weekend in a four-game set at the Rogers Centre.
The Jays cobbled together things on the pitching side of the game sending six different arms to the mound to finish off the eight remaining innings in the game. Zach Pop picked up the win getting the Jays a key out to get out of the sixth with Red Sox in scoring position.
The Jays bats got going after that.
