Scherzer was the centerpiece, pairing a sharp scoreless start with a dominant strikeout performance. His work gave Toronto the foundation to stay in front from the opening scoring play.

Alejandro Kirk’s homer brought Brett Bateman home in the first, giving Toronto the lead and providing the eventual winning margin. Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s double later brought Myles Straw across, while Kazuma Okamoto’s homer extended the lead. In the eighth, Andrés Giménez’s single brought George Springer and Nathan Lukes home, and Brett Bateman’s double brought Kazuma Okamoto across.

Logan Gilbert took the loss after allowing Toronto’s early scoring and departing before the late surge. Seattle’s offense never found an answer, with Randy Arozarena among those unable to break through.

The Blue Jays extended their winning streak, while the Mariners’ losing streak continued. The game belonged to pitching control from the first inning through the finish.
