Just when it seemed like the Jays might steal the game away, it happened: the epic rally by our Angels in the bottom of the 8th inning! Our fearless Zach Neto started things off with a walk, then following a pivotal error by Toronto, Logan O'Hoppe delivered a single bringing in the go-ahead run. But the fireworks truly ignited when Yoan Moncada stepped up with a dazzling 407-foot homer, bringing in the clutch runs – Ward, O'Hoppe and himself! The excitement didn't stop as Jo Adell joined the party, hitting another homer to ensure the Blue Jays stayed firmly grounded.
Finally, stellar defense sealed the deal for a resounding 8-3 victory. Truly, a masterclass showing of perseverance and grit. Way to go, Halos!
