Justin Turner's homer, RBI single highlight Blue Jays' 5
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Justin Turner hit a solo homer and drove in another run with a single as the Toronto Blue Jays won for the fifth time in six games, beating the San Diego Padres 5-1 on Friday night.
“The quality of at-bats have significantly spiked, one through nine,” Turner said of the offense during the Blue Jays’ winning streak. “Anytime you can get their starter out of the game in the fourth inning, fifth inning and you get to face their longer (relief) guys, that is a pretty good sign you are going to have some success.”
Toronto reliver Bowden Francis (2-2) picked up the win, allowing one hit and no runs in two innings.
“Really good night, homer to center is tough here,” Blue Jays manager John Schneider said of Turner. “Kind of set the tone for us there. He continues to have really good at-bats.”
San Diego starter Matt Waldron (0-2) took the loss. The 27-year-old right-hander allowed seven hits and five runs in 4 2/3 innings. The Padres, who had won five of their last seven games before Friday, are 0-4 in Waldron’s starts this season.
