Overview

  • The Jays capped an 8–0 stretch with a 3–2 victory over the Angels on July 6, completing only the second perfect seven-game homestand in franchise history.
  • Bo Bichette hit a leadoff home run in the fourth inning to tie the game and later scored the decisive run after correcting an earlier error.
  • Kevin Gausman delivered a season-high nine strikeouts over 5⅔ innings, allowing two runs to preserve the win and fuel the streak.
  • Rookies Joey Loperfido and Ryan Burr, both making their season debuts, provided the go-ahead RBI and multi-inning relief appearance, respectively.
  • The Angels went 4-for-30 with runners in scoring position across the series, while the sweep opened a three-game cushion atop the AL East.
