Toronto Blue Jays right-hander joins impressive list in team history

The Toronto Blue Jays defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 7-2 on Saturday afternoon at the Rogers Centre.

With the win, the Jays are now 71-78 on the season. The Cardinals returned to .500 at 74-74 with the loss.

With the win, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. made history as the youngest Jays player to ever reach 500 RBIs, but he wasn’t the only one making history.

Right-hander Jose Berrios won his seventh consecutive start, moving him onto an impressive list of records.

Well, Berrios has now won seven in a row to break a tie with those other big names. He’s 16-9 this season with a solid 3.44 ERA. Although Toronto won’t make the playoffs this season, Berrios has done his part.

The 30-year-old is in his ninth Major League season with the Minnesota Twins and Blue Jays. He is 99-75 overall, meaning his next win will also be a milestone.

The Blue Jays and Cardinals will play again on Sunday afternoon, with the first pitch scheduled for 1:37 p.m. ET. Veteran Miles Mikolas will start for St. Louis and Yariel Rodriguez will start for Toronto.
