The Toronto Blue Jays outlasted the Los Angeles Dodgers in a dramatic 5-4 victory Sunday afternoon, overcoming Shohei Ohtani's 22nd home run of the season with clutch hitting from their own stars. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. delivered the decisive blow—a towering two-run homer in the 8th inning—finishing 2-for-4 with two RBI, while Bo Bichette set the table with two runs scored. The Dodgers had seized momentum early behind Ohtani's solo shot and Freddie Freeman's three-RBI blast, but Toronto's bullpen held firm after a shaky start from Eric Lauer, who allowed three runs in three innings. The Blue Jays' relentless offense, including key contributions from Addison Barger and Ernie Clement, proved too much for Los Angeles' usually stout relief corps, as Blake Treinen surrendered a critical two-run homer in the 8th.

For the Dodgers, the loss snaps a four-game win streak despite strong efforts from Tyler Glasnow (eight strikeouts over 5.2 innings) and Mookie Betts' two-hit performance. Toronto, meanwhile, notches a statement win against one of baseball's best, showcasing their resilience and power when it matters most. With Guerrero Jr. and Bichette leading the charge, the Blue Jays send a message: they won't go quietly in the playoff race.
