Kiermaier, Chapman both drive in 5 as Blue Jays rally for wild 10-inning win over Angels

Matt Chapman is used to wild getaway games at Angel Stadium.

But the Toronto third baseman said Sunday was one of the more unique ones he has experienced.

Chapman and No. 9 batter Kevin Kiermaier each drove in five runs as the Blue Jays rallied for a 12-11 victory over the Los Angeles Angels in 10 innings.

"It seems like every Sunday game I've played here in my career has been crazy," said Chapman, who spent his first five big-league seasons with Oakland before getting traded to Toronto.

Chapman hit his first career grand slam in the sixth as the Blue Jays overcame an early-six run deficit. Toronto blew a three-run lead in the ninth as the Angels forced extra innings, but Kiermaier came through with a ground-rule RBI double in the 10th off Carlos Estevez (0-1) and scored on George Springer's single to make it 12-10.

The Angels got one run back in the bottom of the inning and had the bases loaded with two outs before Tim Mayza got Shohei Ohtani to ground out to second on an 0-2 sinker to end the game.

"I love the way we just went after it," manager John Schneider said after the Blue Jays took two of three in the series and finished 6-4 on their season-opening road trip. "It kind of got contagious a little bit, and then kind of just continuing to add on. It says a lot about those guys. They're in it until the end."
