The Braves, now with a 5-2 record, matched up evenly against the Blue Jays who moved to a 4-3 standing. Despite both teams amassing five hits each and maintaining error-free performances, neither could outmaneuver the other as pitchers from both sides dominated.

Key Performances on the Mound

The bullpen contributed significantly with seven innings pitched, recording an ERA of 1.286 and striking out five batters while maintaining a WHIP (Walks plus Hits per Innings Pitched) of just over 0.8571.
