<p>After watching Game 1 of the Toronto Blue Jays&#8217; three-game series against the San Franciso Giants blow up in the bottom of the ninth, resulting in a walk-off wild pitch, they roared back in Game 2.</p>
<p></p>
<div class="bam-inline-promotion-block"></div>
<p>It was Ernie Clement who led the charge for the Jays, hitting his second home run in as many days in the top of the fifth inning, hitting a down and out-of-the-zone changeup 385 feet into the stands, giving the Jays a 3-2 lead. It marked the first home run Logan Webb has ever given up on such a pitch, having allowed just 21 hits on 1,177 such pitches in his career so far, as noted by <a href="https://x.com/DownToBlack/status/1811238395311526221">Chris Black</a>, and just the second extra-base hit of his career.</p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s a testament to the golf we played earlier in the week,&#8221; Clement <a href="https://x.com/Sportsnet/status/1811260705623904765">said with a smile</a> after the game.</p>
<p>While the Giants would tie it up in the bottom of the fifth, a six-run top of the sixth would give the Jays a lead they wouldn&#8217;t look back on. Now, it sets up Kevin Gausman to take the mound for the Jays in a Thursday afternoon affair opposite a familiar face in Jordan Hicks.</p>
<p>The latter joined the Jays last July in a trade with the St. Louis Cardinals, throwing 24.0 innings of 2.63 ERA ball for the tea down the stretch run of the season. The Giants have stretched him out into a starter this year, and he&#8217;s had much success doing so, despite a 4-5 record on the season. The hard-throwing right-hander has a 3.47 ERA over 18 starts this inning.</p>
<p>The Blue Jays saw Bo Bichette and Daulton Varsho exit Wednesday&#8217;s win with injuries and both players are out of the lineup in the rubber match on Thursday afternoon.</p>

After watching Game 1 of the Toronto Blue Jays' three-game series against the San Franciso Giants blow up in the bottom of the ninth, resulting in a walk-off wild pitch, they roared back in Game 2.
