The Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Los Angeles Angels 4-2, with Bowden Francis delivering a stellar seven-inning performance, allowing just one hit and striking out eight batters. Will Wagner, making his major league debut, shone with three hits, including a double and an RBI, becoming the fourth player in Blue Jays history to achieve this feat in their debut. Leo Jiménez also contributed with his first career home run, a two-run shot that added to the Blue Jays' scoring. Despite the loss, the Angels managed home runs from Mickey Moniak and Jo Adell, but struggled offensively against the Blue Jays’ pitching. Toronto's victory came after a rough stretch on the road, reviving hopes as they embarked on a six-game trip. The win is particularly notable as the Blue Jays look to improve their performance with the season nearing its end.
