Overview
- Pham flipped his bat after a seventh-inning walk against Brendon Little, then turned back to confront Tyler Heineman as both benches emptied.
- George Springer and Ty France intervened at first base to settle Pham down.
- John Schneider, ejected earlier and in the clubhouse during the incident, later downplayed Pham’s role and emphasized Toronto’s defence and at-bats.
- Pittsburgh won 5-2 as Toronto committed three errors, leaving the Blue Jays 73-53 and still five games clear atop the AL East.
- No MLB discipline or definitive explanation for Pham’s actions was reported after the game.
