Throughout the game, the Blue Jays showcased their offensive capabilities by accumulating nine hits and capitalizing on opportunities to score in three different innings.

Their consistent performance continued into the fourth inning where they added another run to their tally despite an error by their opponents. The ninth inning sealed their victory as they managed to secure one more run, demonstrating their ability to maintain pressure until the very end.

On defense and pitching fronts, Toronto excelled as well. Their pitchers combined for a shutout against Milwaukee's lineup, allowing only five hits over nine innings while maintaining an impeccable fielding percentage of 100 percent with zero errors committed throughout the game. The bullpen was particularly effective in closing out innings when under threat; boasting an earned run average (ERA) of 0.0 over four innings pitched and striking out six batters faced.


The Brewers struggled offensively against Toronto's pitchers managing just five hits without converting any into runs due largely to Toronto’s tight defense which left seven Milwaukee runners stranded on base throughout nine innings.
