Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette is optimistic about staying with the team long-term after their turnaround.

Bichette is slashing .281/.321/.448 with 13 homers and 59 RBI over 99 games this year, which is more in line with his career averages. The 27-year-old owns a .289/.330/.464 career slash line while averaging 15 homers and 57 RBI per 101 games.

Ernie Clement and Joey Loperfido hit back-to back hit home runs in the fifth inning to help the surging Toronto Blue Jays rout the slumping Detroit Tigers 11-4 in a matchup of first-place teams going in opposite directions.

Bo Bichette’s bat is red hot and so is the pressure on the Toronto Blue Jays front office. As the team rolled to a franchise-record 11th straight home win on Monday night, the shortstop played his part once again, driving in two runs in a 4-1 win over the New York Yankees.
