Kazuma Okamoto singled home Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in the bottom of the eighth inning, setting the stage for a flood of runs. Ernie Clement, Miles Straw, and George Springer each contributed RBIs for Toronto. Tyler Rogers pitched a strong relief appearance, picking up the win. Jose Soriano, acquired from Los Angeles Angels before the trade deadline, struck out four and allowed one run over six innings, but went no-decision.
