Lukes Heroics Seal Blue Jays Sweep | MLB News

Nathan Lukes crushed a two-run homer in the 11th to seal a 7-5 Blue Jays win over the Phillies, setting up a sweep on Sunday. Max Scherzer made history with his 3,516th strikeout — moving into 10th all-time and behind only Justin Verlander among active pitchers — but gave up two runs in the 6th, including back-to-back homers that tied the game. Meanwhile, Aaron Nola reached 2,000 strikeouts (94th all-time) before exiting with a knee contusion after being hit by a line drive. George Springer sat out with shoulder tightness but entered as a pinch runner. The Blue Jays look to cap the series with Shane Bieber facing Jesús Luzardo tomorrow.
