TORONTO (AP) — José Berríos pitched six shutout innings in his Toronto debut and the Blue Jays completed a three-game sweep in their first series north of the border since 2019, beating the Kansas City Royals 5-1 Sunday.
Marcus Semien and Santiago Espinal homered to back Toronto’s big-name newcomer.
Acquired from Minnesota at the trade deadline Friday for two minor leaguers, Berríos (8-5) allowed five hits, four of them singles.
“I feel really happy about what I did today,” Berríos said. “I was able to throw strikes.”
