TORONTO -- Trailing 9-2 in the bottom of the sixth inning, it looked like the Blue Jays were on their way to another loss behind another disappointing offensive effort. A couple of hours later, the Blue Jays stormed the field to celebrate
\n\n \n\nHernandez’s homer in the 12th -- his second of the night -- was the first walk-off home run of his career and gave the Blue Jays their first six-homer game since August 2017. That late surge from Toronto’s lineup wasn’t the result of a rah-rah speech in the dugout or a grand shift in strategy, but the result, Montoyo thinks, of a team that has simply kept pushing despite its recent struggles.\n\n“We battled the whole game,” Hernandez said. “We didn’t put our heads down. I think that it’s always been like that. We always try to fight in the game, to get back, and that’s what we did today.”\n\nThe pair of big flies gave Hernandez six over 13 games since the All-Star Break. The physical tools are undeniably there, as Montoyo alluded to, but the oft-streaky 26-year-old is in the middle of one of his hot stretches for a lineup that certainly needs it.\n\n“It feels good, really good,” Hernandez said. “It was my first one here. At first, I didn’t think it was going to go out, but thank God that it did. It was awesome.\"
