Blue Jays Sweep Angels Extend Eight-Game Winning Streak

The Toronto Blue Jays completed a three-game sweep of the Los Angeles Angels, extending their season-best winning streak to eight games, highlighted by strong pitching and timely hitting. The Angels struggled with runners in scoring position, going 4 for 30 across the series, and left 12 runners on base in the 3-2 loss on Sunday. Blue Jays' Bo Bichette contributed a key home run and clutch hits, while Kevin Gausman struck out nine in 5 2/3 innings, helping Toronto maintain control despite some defensive miscues. The sweep capped a perfect seven-game homestand for Toronto, their first such sweep since 1994, with manager John Schneider praising the team’s resilience and depth. The Angels' Tyler Anderson, who is in the final year of his contract, pitched well but was undone by timely Blue Jays hitting and a defensive error. Toronto’s recent surge has placed them firmly in first place in the American League East with a three-game division lead, bolstered by contributions from players like George Springer and Joey Loperfido.
