Bo Bichette hit a two-run homer, Myles Straw and Tyler Heineman each had two hits and three RBIs, and the Toronto Blue Jays beat Philadelphia 9-1, handing the slumping Phillies their sixth loss in seven games.

This seven-game home stretch is the best the Toronto Blue Jays have looked all season. After a four-game sweep of the Athletics over the weekend, the Blue Jays began a series with the Philadelphia Phillies.

Myles Straw and Tyler Heineman each had three RBIs, Chris Bassitt pitched seven effective innings Thursday and the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the visiting Philadelphia Phillies 9-1.
