TORONTO -- It’s all coming together for Cavan Biggio, who launched his 12th home run of the season in Saturday’s 6-4 win over the Astros.

Biggio also homered in Friday’s series opener against the Astros and has six hits over his last four games after his average hovered just over .200 for the past six weeks. His contact has been harder, and he hasn’t missed the pitches over the heart of the plate, but it all starts with his control of the strike zone and a recent change in approach.

“It’s all about being more aggressive,” said manager Charlie Montoyo after the win. “When he first came to the big leagues, he was being patient and he was walking. Now, the league makes an adjustment. They know you’re patient, so they’ll start throwing you more strikes. Then he got in trouble because he was hitting from behind, but now he sees that people are throwing more strikes so he’s being more aggressive.”

The 24-year-old will take his strikeouts along the way, but he’s a candidate to lead the Blue Jays in walks in the coming years. Biggio walked again on Saturday, giving him nine over his last seven games. He’s now walked 55 times in just 78 games, which ranks him second on the Blue Jays behind only Justin Smoak and first among all American League rookies, with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in second at 41.

There’s a fine balance between patience and aggression for Biggio, one that will be ever-changing, but he’s found the sweet spot for now. Biggio has been especially aware of how pitchers were treating him with two strikes compared to his time in the Minor Leagues. In Double-A or Triple-A, a two-strike count meant a heavy serving of sliders in the dirt that Biggio and his sharp eye could ignore. In the big leagues, pitchers have come right at him.

From there, the dominoes all start to line up.

“The biggest thing I’ve been focusing on is being aggressive,” Biggio said. “When I’m aggressive, my timing is a lot better, and when my timing is a lot better, I see the ball a lot better. Even though I’m being more aggressive, my plate discipline is still there because I’m seeing the ball that much longer.”

With his plate approach locked in, Biggio can now do some damage. He has a combined 18 home runs between the Major Leagues (12) and Triple-A (6) this season after hitting 26 at the Double-A level in 2018, so the power is undeniably there if he’s able to tap into it. Saturday’s blast in the fourth inning left the bat at 104.1 mph, according to Statcast, and traveled a projected 386 feet to right field.

“He’s not, in any way, scared of competition at the big league level,” said starter Clay Buchholz, who picked up his first win in his second start back from the injured list. “They all feel like they belong here, so that’s a change. That’s definitely not how I felt when I was called up. I felt like I had to walk a straight line and do everything all the veteran guys do. These kids, they already know they’re that good and know they’re going to be here for a long time.”

Teoscar Hernandez delivered the other big blow of the day for the Blue Jays, a two-run skyscraper to left field that peaked at a height of 138 feet before clearing the wall in left. Bo Bichette added on another multihit game, too, giving him 16 in his first 30 games, which is the third-most in MLB history. His 45 hits through those first 30 games are also the most by any Blue Jays player.
