Bichette, Espinal propel Blue Jays past Rangers

Bo Bichette hit a game-tying home run and Santiago Espinal had a go-ahead double as the Toronto Blue Jays held off the Texas Rangers 4-3 on Saturday.

Kevin Gausman gave up eight hits in his regular-season debut for Toronto, but limited Texas to three runs and struck out five in five innings of work.

Relievers Trevor Richards, Yimi Garcia, Tim Mayza and Jordan Romano of Markham, Ont., closed the door the rest of the way. Romano earned his second save of the season.

Corey Seager and Nathaniel Lowe each had two hits and RBI for Texas (0-2).

Dane Dunning struck out four but allowed five hits and three runs over five innings in a no decision. Brett Martin took the loss for the Rangers, with Spencer Patton and Matt Bush also coming out of the bullpen.
