The Toronto Blue Jays secured a narrow 10-9 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals, marking their 11th win in the past 13 games. Andrés Giménez launched a three-run homer to kick off the scoring, but Chris Bassitt's shaky fourth inning allowed Nolan Gorman to tie the game. Toronto responded with a fifth-inning double from Addison Barger and a sac fly from George Springer. Alejandro Kirk's two-run blast later contributed to a late-game cushion. Despite a tense ninth inning with a three-run homer off closer Jeff Hoffman, the Jays held on for the win.

The game showcased a mix of fortunate hits, as the Jays compiled nine hits off soft contact. Following Gorman's homer, Bassitt settled down, retiring eight consecutive batters. Nathan Lukes was a late scratch due to neck discomfort. Barger’s performance raises questions about his long-term role, given his recent drop in batting average after a stellar stretch. The Jays’ versatility may keep him fluctuating between third base and the outfield.
