TOR • RF • #

Addison Barger blasted a walk-off homer off against Shelby Miller in the ninth inning on Tuesday, propelling the Blue Jays to an improbable 5-4 victory over the Diamondbacks.

The Jays entered the ninth inning trailing 4-3 when Bo Bichette crushed a one-out, game-tying solo shot off of Shelby Miller. Barger then followed with a 408-foot (109.3 mph EV) solo shot that walked it off for the Blue Jays. The versatile 25-year-old finished the evening 2-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and is now hitting .264/.322/.497 with eight homers, 23 RBI and one stolen base through his first 177 plate appearances on the season.
