With two outs in the seventh, Adames sent with a grounder up the middle. Second baseman Ernie Clement ranged to the left side of the bag and made a nice pickup and throw to first.
Leading off the eighth, Bryce Eldridge hit a drive to deep left-center. Center fielder Daulton Varsho raced to make an excellent catch before running into the wall.
Kazuma Okamoto’s opposite-field grand slam off Logan Webb capped the Blue Jays’ five-run first inning.
In Toronto’s 9-3 win Tuesday night, the Blue Jays retired the final 15 San Francisco hitters.
