Louis Varland has to be the team’s permanent closer. He faced the middle of the order in the top of the ninth, striking out Roman Anthony, Wilyer Abreu, and Trevor Story. What a trade it’s turned out to be.
It was a fairly pedestrian game offensively by the Blue Jays. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was the team’s best hitter, going 2-3 with his seventh double of the season. He was also hit by a pitch, but stayed in the game.
Kazuma Okamoto had the team’s biggest hit, driving in two runs in the bottom of the third. The two-RBI single came off the bat at 105.1 mph. Good stuff from the Blue Jays’ third baseman.
Daulton Varsho had a tough game, striking out three times but notching a single in his final plate appearance. Andrés Giménez and Myles Straw also had hits, with Giménez coming in to score the game-winning run. Straw also made a terrific catch in the fifth.
