Right from the get-go, it was clear it was going to be our night. Despite a quiet first inning, the Blue Jays turned up the heat in the second. Justin Turner hit an infield single, and then Davis Schneider doubled, bringing Turner to third. The excitement was palpable! Daulton Varsho grounded out but not without pushing Turner across the plate for our first run. Not stopping there, Isiah Kiner-Falefa’s groundout allowed Schneider to score, doubling our lead. The crescendo of the inning? Alejandro Kirk smashing a homer to right field.

The bullpen held firm, with García and Mayza doing their parts, setting the stage for Romano to close it out in the 9th - striking out two Dodgers and sealing that sweet, sweet victory!Defensive Shifts Solidify the Win
