TEXAS BLOWS BIG LEAD BUT THEN REBOUNDS TO SINK BLUE JAYS

Ronald Guzman hit a tie-breaking two-run single off Marcus Stroman in the sixth inning and the Texas Rangers recovered from blowing a four-run lead to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 6-4 at Rogers Centre on Friday night. Joey Gallo, pictured, hit a two-run homer and Nomar Mazara drove in a pair of runs as the Rangers (10-17) built up a 4-0 advantage in the first inning before seeing it slip away. Steve Pearce hit a two-run double and Kevin Pillar and Justin Smoak drove in a run apiece for the Blue Jays (14-11). Mike Minor (2-1) allowed four runs and nine hits over six innings and struck out four for the win. Stroman (0-3), pitching in his 100th career game, rebounded from the rough first inning to retire 12 of the next 14 batters he faced before running into trouble again in the sixth.
