ST. LOUIS — Blue Jays manager John Schneider thought for a moment, staring forward as he exhaled in the tunnels under St. Louis’ Busch Stadium. Toronto had just won its fifth straight series, toppling the Cardinals before finishing the sweep on Wednesday. The manager was asked to think back: When was the last time his team had a stretch this good?

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Ernie Clement left in the ninth inning Wednesday against St. Louis after banging his knee in the eighth when he dove for a grounder.

A third consecutive win helped the Toronto Blue Jays improve to 12-2 over their last 14, good for one of the best stretches the franchise has had in the last 30 years.

The Toronto Blue Jays and St. Louis Cardinals wrap up their 3-game series Wednesday at Busch Stadium in St. Louis.

It’s Wednesday, June 11 and the Blue Jays (37-30) are in St. Louis to take on the Cardinals (36-31). Eric Lauer is slated to take the mound for Toronto against Matthew Liberatore for St. Louis.

The Toronto Blue Jays should make a play for this Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher as they shape up to be buyers ahead of the trade deadline.

Indeed, it was. The Blue Jays swept the Cardinals, capped by a 5-2 win Wednesday afternoon. It marked the third time the Cardinals have been swept this season and dropped their record to 36-32.

A Toronto Blue Jays trade idea has them acquiring Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Merrill Kelly as the trade deadline approaches.

Will Robertson, the Toronto Blue Jays' fourth round pick from the 2019 MLB Draft, has finally joined the big league roster ahead of Wednesday's finale against the St. Louis Cardinals.
