Mets explode for six homers, setting a franchise mark for runs in a home game with a 19-9 rout of the Marlins. In his major league debut, Jonah Tong works five innings, allowing one earned run while fanning six. The offense jumps out early, with Soto and Nimmo mashing two- and three-run shots, Alonso and Lindor contributing as New York piles it on. A six-run eighth caps the onslaught as Mark Vientos and Torrens join the long-ball parade. The Mets improve to 9-4 in their last 13.

Fifth-inning misplays by Lindor and Alonso briefly open the door for the Marlins, but Tong’s impressive debut and the Mets’ power surge overshadow the hiccup. Marlins' youngsters Jakob Marsee, Liam Hicks, and Javier Sanoja get a late look as New York coasts to the win, continuing a hot stretch for the Mets.

Bichette posted four singles and two highlight plays, Springer carved out three hits with a solo homer, and Toronto outlasted Miami 7-6 in 12 innings as Guerrero Jr. sat with a hamstring issue. The bullpen wobbled, but the offense found late traction, scoring in the 10th, 11th and 12th to extend the Jays’ advantage. Bichette capped the win with a grounder that caught Otto Lopez wandering, sealing a dramatic comeback that underscores Toronto’s resilience and depth in a tight AL East race.

Shane Bieber dazzled in his Toronto debut, six innings, 87 pitches, nine strikeouts and two hits allowed, with zero walks. He mixed a full five-pitch arsenal, logged 14 swings and misses, and even used a knuckle-curve for his first strikeout in Blue Jays pinstripes. The lone blemish was Javier Sanoja’s second-inning solo shot.

Post-Tommy John rehab, Bieber showed velocity upticks and command, following seven minor-league rehab starts. He was traded from Cleveland at the deadline, in exchange for Khal Stephen, as Toronto rides a 75-54 mark and a five-game AL East lead toward its first division title since 2015.

Shane Bieber returned from Tommy John rehab with a dominant six-inning, nine-strikeout outing for Toronto, allowing only two hits and one run while 87 pitches kept the Blue Jays ahead 5-1 before a 5-2 final. Javier Sanoja homered for Miami in the second, but Bieber's long-awaited return instantly bolstered Toronto's rotation.

Traded from Cleveland on July 31 after four rehabilitation outings, Bieber was the 2020 AL Cy Young winner who posted a 1.63 ERA and 122 Ks that season in a 60-game slate. This debut signals the Jays’ win-now push and gives fantasy managers a frontline starter returning to form after elbow surgery.

In a matchup heavy with narratives, Bieber’s performance reunites him with a team he’ll anchor going forward, while the Marlins got a rare burst from Sanoja in a game Toronto controlled for most of the night. The Jays walk away with a quality-start victory and a valuable rotation asset at the top of the order.
