Second Inning


Continuing their momentum into the second inning, Toronto added another run to their tally. Andrés Giménez contributed significantly during this period with his consistent performance on base. Meanwhile, Milwaukee struggled to find rhythm against Toronto's pitching lineup.


Third and Fourth Innings


The third inning saw no runs from either side as both teams tightened up defensively. However, in the fourth inning, Toronto managed to score again thanks to a series of well-timed hits that included contributions from Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who were instrumental in keeping pressure on Milwaukee's defense.


Fifth Inning


The fifth inning was pivotal for what went wrong for Blue Jays earlier but turned into a turning point as they exploded with another 3 runs from five hits. This offensive burst overwhelmed Milwaukee's pitchers and set a commanding lead that would prove insurmountable for the Brew Crew.


Sixth Through Ninth Innings


Despite efforts by Milwaukee to mount a comeback in subsequent innings—scoring two more runs in total—their attempts fell short against Toronto’s bullpen which held firm throughout these periods. Notably, Seranthony Domínguez showcased his prowess by maintaining zero earned runs during his time on mound duty.


In this Blue Jays vs Brewers match summary: The Birds demonstrated resilience and strategic play across all innings which ultimately led them past any challenges posed by their opponents’ lineup changes or tactical shifts mid-game.
