Key Points:
- Blue Jays leadoff hitter turned a potential bloop single into a triple during Monday's 2-1 win over the Mets, aided by defensive errors from Juan Soto and Mets center fielder A.J. Ewing.
- Soto misjudged the ball in left field and swiped wildly, allowing the ball to get past him, while Ewing bobbled the ball before it was finally recovered, enabling the runner to advance all the way to third base.
- The play was officially scored as a triple with an error on Ewing, denying Springer his 66th career leadoff home run, which would have brought him closer to Rickey Henderson's record of 81.
- Despite being out of breath after the sprint, Springer’s hustle was praised by teammates, highlighting his commitment and energy even during a tough stretch for the team.
- Springer emphasized that baserunning is part of his role as a designated hitter, showing that his contributions go beyond just hitting.
