TORONTO (AP) 鈥� Xavier Edwards had , Jonah Bride homered twice and the Miami Marlins set a season high in runs by routing the Toronto Blue Jays 15-5 on Friday night.
Edwards hit a sharp grounder down the right-field line for a triple in the second inning, got another three-bagger in the fourth on a fly ball to the gap in right-center and hit a line drive in the seventh that one-hopped the wall in right for his third triple. He became the first Marlins player with three triples in a game and finished 4 for 6 with four RBIs and two runs scored.
鈥淚 was confident in all three of them,鈥� Edwards said. 鈥淚 didn鈥檛 hesitate.鈥�
Midway through the game, the Marlins announced that because of a family medical issue. Bench coach Luis Urueta will lead the team this weekend.
Schumaker said he told the players about his upcoming absence in an 鈥渆motional鈥� team meeting after batting practice.
Marlins slugger Jake Burger called Schumaker 鈥渙ne of the best in the biz.鈥� Schumacher鈥檚 contract expires at the end of the season.
鈥淗e helped with a lot of stuff, not only on the field but off the field,鈥� Burger said.
Edwards said he was grateful to Schumaker for giving him his first taste of regular playing time.
鈥淕reat person, great manager, great baseball mind,鈥� Edwards said. 鈥淚 love playing for Skip.鈥�
Marlins outfielder Griffin Conine homered against the team that drafted him in 2018 and drove in three runs.
Bride hit a two-run homer in the first inning and added a solo blast in the eighth, his 11th of the season, in the first multi-homer game of his career.
Burger had three hits and drove in a pair of runs, and Jes煤s S谩nchez scored three times as the Marlins racked up 17 hits, including one against position player Tyler Heineman in the ninth inning.
Adam Oller (2-4) came in 0-3 with a 6.43 ERA in four September starts but snapped his losing streak by allowing four runs and eight hits in five innings. Oller walked two and struck out three.
The Marlins didn鈥檛 arrive at their Toronto hotel until after 5 a.m. EDT following a 13-inning win at Minnesota on Thursday night, but they didn鈥檛 show any signs of fatigue against the Blue Jays.
S谩nchez opened the scoring with an RBI double off Jos茅 Berr铆os in the first and Bride followed with a drive to left.
Edwards鈥� two-run triple in the second made it 5-0, and S谩nchez scored on a wild pitch in the third.
鈥淚 think we鈥檙e all running off a lot of adrenaline tonight,鈥� Edwards said.
Berr铆os (16-11) allowed six runs and six hits in three innings in his final start of the season, as many runs as he鈥檇 allowed in his previous five starts combined. The right-hander lost his second straight start after winning the previous seven.
鈥淔rustrating that that鈥檚 his last outing for the year,鈥� Blue Jays manager John Schneider said. 鈥淭onight he just didn鈥檛 really have his stuff.鈥�
Ernie Clement homered for Toronto, his 12th. The Blue Jays dropped to 7-15 in September.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went 2 for 4 with an RBI. He has 199 hits, the second-highest total in the majors behind Kansas City鈥檚 Bobby Witt Jr.
