The Toronto Blue Jays began a six-game road trip with a three-game series against the Cleveland Guardians, marking the MLB debut of Blue Jays rookie Orelvis Martinez. Martinez, whose family traveled from the Dominican Republic to Cleveland, recorded his first career hit off Carlos Carrasco. The Guardians dominated the game with a seven-run second inning, which took the Blue Jays 70 pitches to end, leading to their third consecutive win. Carlos Carrasco, making his second consecutive start against Toronto, struggled by allowing five earned runs on six hits and two walks in his previous outing against the Blue Jays.
