The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 12-2 in a game that improved the Dodgers' record to 17-11 and marked their fifth consecutive win, scoring over 10 runs in three of those games. In a subsequent game, despite a strong start by the Blue Jays with a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the second inning, the Dodgers managed to narrow the gap, but the Blue Jays ultimately secured a 3-1 victory, breaking their five-game losing streak. Key performances included Kevin Gausman's strong pitching for the Blue Jays, which helped maintain their lead. Varsho's risky play likely cost the Blue Jays a run, and Schneider's RBI double briefly gave the Blue Jays hope before Joe Kelly retired all three batters he faced.
In case you missed it, I’m doing a special mail bag episode of Deep Left Field in a few minutes. Get your #Bluejays questions & comments to [email protected] by 4:30pm Eastern to get them on the show! What did you think of Ohtani weekend?
The Blue Jays snap their 5-game losing skid with a win over the Dodgers. 🔥 https://t.co/V3k5dtIK9n
Vladdy leads off bot8 with his second hit of the day but a Bichette DP ball and Turner pop-up mean #Bluejays get nothing. Jordan Romano is in to try to close out a 3-1 lead vs. Pages, Outman, Lux. After the game, a Deep Left Field mailbag! Hit me up at [email protected]!

#Bluejays failed to add to their lead after their 3-run bot2, and now we're in top8 with #Jays leading #Dodgers 3-1. Yimbo is on to deal with Barnes/Betts/Ohtani after a superb performance by Gausman.
#Bluejays haven't done much beyond that 3-run bot2, but thanks to Kevin Gausman and the gloves, they lead 3-1 to top7. After the game, I'm doing a bonus mailbag episode of Deep Left Field, so send Qs/comments to [email protected]. What did you think of Ohtani weekend?
Gausman provides a shutdown inning after #Bluejays get him a 3-spot, so it's 3-0 to bot3. Lefty Alex Vesia takes over for #Dodgers. Send questions and comments to [email protected] to get on tonight's bonus episode of DLF!!!
#Bluejays fall 4-2 to #Dodgers, managing only three hits. They've lost a series at home for the first time this season and will try not to get swept tomorrow. Lemme know what you think at [email protected] for tomorrow's bonus mailbag episode!
#BlueJays drop 5th straight game 4-2 to Dodgers. Toronto outhit 11-3 Kevin Gausman will look to turn things around in Sunday’s finale.
The glimmer of light that the Schneider RBI double gave #Bluejays is snuffed as Joe Kelly comes in and retires all three batters he faces. To the 8th, #Dodgers up 4-1. Send questions/comments to [email protected] and I'll answer them on tomorrow's bonus episode!
Varsho's wild gambit likely costs #Bluejays a run, as Ohtani's 108.7mph grounder that followed would probably have been a DP (but space-time continuum and all that). 1-0 #Dodgers to bot1. Remember, there's a DLF mailbag after tomorrow's game - Qs to [email protected]!
Final: Dodgers 12, Blue Jays 2 #Dodgers 17-11 That's five straight wins for LAD. They've scored 10+ runs in three of them
