Ernie Clement’s misread bunt sign sparked Toronto’s best moment of the night, turning a routine sacrifice into a three-run homer off Javier Assad and instantly giving the Blue Jays a 4-0 lead in a 5-1 win over the Cubs. Alejandro Kirk opened the scoring with an RBI single in the first, and Daulton Varsho added a solo shot in the eighth to seal the cushion. Jose Berrios pitched into the sixth inning before handing off to the bullpen, setting a tone as Toronto opened the three-game series with a win against Chicago’s offense. The night also spotlighted Toronto’s depth: Clement’s hot bat, plus the return of Andres Giménez to the lineup, and Addison Barger shifting from third to right field as Cliff Lee’s return allowed lineup juggling. In the broader context, Toronto sits in good company near franchise milestones, while the baseball world kept an eye on the Dodgers and Shohei Ohtani after a weekend against L.A.’s power. The clash underscored Toronto’s growing ability to blend steady, timely hitting with opportunistic power, a mix that should keep fantasy managers vigilant for daily shifts and breakout performances as the team chases big-season goals.
