The Toronto Blue Jays beat the New York Mets 9-3 on Canada Day as Sean Keys hit his first career major league home run, a three-run shot that opened the scoring for Toronto. Keys’ homer came after an Ernie Clement double, giving the Blue Jays an early lead that they built to a comfortable margin. Mets reliever Joey Gerber exited the game with a blister on his right finger; interim manager Andy Green confirmed the injury after the game. Gerber previously landed on the injured list in April for the same blister and had a recurrence in June; entering Wednesday he had thrown six innings across four outings this season, allowing one run on five hits and a walk with eight strikeouts. The Blue Jays collected seven total runs from the bottom of the order in the victory, and Toronto finished with a 9-3 final score.
