Supporting cast comes through as Blue Jays weather storm to win series vs. Rockies

As rain fell amidst another Justin Lawrence meltdown, the Blue Jays put the finishing touches on a 7-5 win thanks in large part to the supporting cast. Horwitz hit his first MLB home run while adding two singles; Mason McCoy scored the go-ahead run on a Whit Merrifield RBI single; Clement drove in an insurance run with his third hit of the game.

DENVER – When Kevin Gausman jogged to the mound for his Sunday afternoon start, his focus was on limiting damage by the Colorado Rockies, not the few dozen friends and family in attendance at Coors Field or the teammates playing behind him.

But if he’d looked around while he warmed up for a critical game in his home state of Colorado, this is the infield he would have seen:

C: Tyler Heineman
1B: Spencer Horwitz 
2B: Davis Schneider
SS: Ernie Clement
3B: Cavan Biggio
