- Initially, Anthony Kay was supposed to start this one, but he had to be scratched late due to a back issue. Instead, the Blue Jays had a bullpen day and used 8 pitchers after the marathon game last night. Thomas Pannone was lit up for 3 runs on 4 hits to put the Blue Jays in an early hole. Ryan Tepera was the only pitcher to have a clean inning. Everyone else allowed at least a hit or a walk.
- Trey Mancini, Dwight Smith Jr. and DJ Stewart combined for 10 hits, 5 runs and 7RBI.
- Rowdy Tellez was the only Blue Jay to get on base multiple times
- The Blue Jays scored a pair in the final inning, but it was too little, too late
- Up next, the Blue Jays wrap up the season series against Baltimore. Gabriel Ynoa pitches against Blue Jays righty Jacob Waguespack.
