The Toronto Blue Jays faced a tough outing against the Philadelphia Phillies, suffering an 8-0 shutout at Citizens Bank Park, attributed largely to the stellar performance of left-hander Ranger Suárez. The Blue Jays struggled to find their rhythm, not placing a runner in scoring position until the seventh inning, marking their fifth shutout of the season. Despite this setback, the Jays maintain a solid record of 12-3 since a previous shutout against Texas, securing their position as the top American League wild-card team.

Kevin Gausman, despite command issues early on, managed to strike out seven batters, allowing four runs over five innings. His performance began shakily, but he settled in, culminating in a successful inning to prevent even more damage. Alejandro Kirk continued his impressive hitting streak with two singles, contributing half of the team's hits on a night when the entire lineup seemed outmatched against Suárez, who has now allowed three runs or fewer in his last six starts.
