NEW YORK — Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a go-ahead RBI double in the ninth inning, leading the Toronto Blue Jays past the New York Mets 2-1. Guerrero's big hit came three pitches after Blue Jays manager John Schneider was ejected for arguing balls and strikes. Mets closer David Robertson got ahead of Guerrero 1-2 before the Blue Jays star doubled down the left-field line to score George Springer, who singled with one out and stole second base. Nate Pearson struck out two in a hitless eighth and Erik Swanson worked around a one-out single by Mark Canha in the ninth to earn his first save. Alejandro Kirk had a run-scoring single in the sixth for the Blue Jays.
