In an explosive turn of events during the game, the Los Angeles Angels scored six runs in the eighth inning, sealing an 8-3 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. The Angels improved to 14-20, with rookie right-handed reliever José Fermin pitching a shutout ninth inning. Notably, closer Kenley Jansen was available but did not pitch due to feeling 'under the weather'. Manager Ron Washington opted for Fermin, who has had a mixed start to his rookie season, allowing five runs in four innings. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays used seven pitchers, with José Ureña making his debut and allowing two runs over 4.1 innings, but struggling late with Yimi Garcia and Jeff Hoffman giving up six runs in 0.2 innings.
