Key Performances on the Field


The Blue Jays' lineup was particularly effective, boasting a .333 batting average with significant contributions across the board. Andrés Giménez stood out with his power hitting, launching a home run that contributed to his impressive .333 batting average and an OPS (On-base Plus Slugging) of 1.666 for the game. Alejandro Kirk also made notable contributions with a .667 batting average and reaching base in two of his three at-bats.


On the mound, José Berríos delivered an outstanding performance as he held the Braves to just four hits over six innings of work. His efforts were complemented by a bullpen that maintained pressure on Atlanta's hitters throughout the remainder of the contest.


Braves Efforts Come Up Short


Despite their loss, the Braves managed eight hits but struggled to convert these opportunities into runs. Their scoring came late in the game with one run each in both seventh and eighth innings which wasn't enough to challenge Toronto's lead.
