The Toronto Blue Jays suffered another painful loss, falling 5-4 to the Los Angeles Angels. This defeat marked their fourth consecutive loss, with three games featuring a blown save. Jose Berrios and Yusei Kikuchi engaged in a six-inning battle, with each allowing just one run. The Jays struck first, scoring four runs in the seventh before Jeff Hoffman, who was tasked with closing the game, faltered in the ninth, giving up a game-ending double to Jorge Soler.

In addition to the loss, the Jays might have lost their second baseman, Andres Gimenez, due to a right quadriceps strain. Meanwhile, the strategy to intentionally walk Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in critical moments proved successful again, as his replacement, Anthony Santander, failed to capitalize on the scoring opportunity. Berrios, despite pitching well, faced challenges but benefited from timely defense, including a crucial caught stealing that ended a threat early in the game.
