The Toronto Blue Jays silenced the San Francisco Giants with a masterful pitching performance and timely hitting, cruising to a 4-0 shutout victory on Friday night. Chris Bassitt dominated the Giants' lineup over 6.1 innings, scattering 10 hits but allowing zero runs while striking out five, stranding runners in scoring position with clutch outs. The Blue Jays' bullpen sealed the deal, with Brendon Little, Yariel Rodriguez, and Jeff Hoffman combining for 2.2 perfect innings and seven strikeouts to stifle any late-game rally.
Toronto's offense struck early, with rookie Joey Loperfido continuing his red-hot start by driving in a run and finishing 2-for-3, pushing his average to a blistering .412. George Springer led the charge with three hits, while Will Wagner delivered the decisive blow—a two-run single in the third. Meanwhile, the Giants' bats never found their rhythm, with Justin Verlander lasting just 2.2 innings after surrendering four runs. The loss drops San Francisco further behind in the playoff hunt, while Toronto gains momentum in a tight division race.
