The Blue Jays managed to edge out the Diamondbacks in a tightly contested game that saw both teams showcasing their strengths across different innings.

First Inning

The game began with both teams testing each other's defenses. The Blue Jays took an early lead in the first inning with one run scored on two hits, setting the tone for what would be a closely fought contest. Meanwhile, Arizona's lineup struggled to find its rhythm against Toronto's pitching staff and was unable to score.

Fourth Inning

By the fourth inning, Arizona started gaining momentum as they managed to put one run on the board with two hits. This effort was matched by Toronto's defense which held firm despite allowing some base runners. The inning highlighted both teams' ability to capitalize on opportunities while maintaining defensive composure.

Fifth Inning

The fifth inning saw Arizona take advantage of Toronto’s sole error of the game and score two runs off two hits. This gave them a temporary lead and showcased their ability to exploit defensive lapses effectively. However, Toronto’s pitching staff quickly regrouped and minimized further damage.

Seventh Inning

Toronto responded in kind during the seventh inning by adding another run through strategic hitting that included two key hits from their lineup. This tied up the game once more and set up an exciting finish as both teams were determined not to give any ground.

Ninth Inning

In what proved pivotal for Toronto, they surged ahead in the ninth inning by scoring two crucial runs off another pair of hits. This late-game push underscored their resilience and ability to perform under pressure when it mattered most against Arizona’s bullpen.

Arizona attempted a comeback but fell short as they failed to score in their half of this final frame despite having opportunities earlier in other innings where they had accumulated eight total hits throughout this matchup without committing any errors themselves—a testament also reflecting strong fielding performance overall from 'the Snakes'.
